Thread: Optimum weight for long range ??

Somewhere between 9-10lb is acceptable in my books. Ive got a Sako 223 with all it's add on junk that weighs 10 Remember the bigger the hole the less the barrel weighs with standard profiles, this is often forgotten when talking a #2 or #3. I've got a 24.5" fluted #4 6.5 barrel on my T3 and it's under 9lb dressed in standard stock, DPT Suppressor & Z5 scope.
