Thread: Rifle Weight , What Do You Like ?

As far as I'm concerned light weight is a win / win situation. I very rarely make anything other than a head/neck axis shot which for me is all under 200m - I prefer to hunt rather than shoot and meat gathering is the name of my game and leave heads in the bush. I use light calibers (except for close bush work) and suppressors on everything. Yes, it does require more attention to place a round where you want it with a rifle that is light weight and which may have less weight forward - that just makes me shoot better. Currently sorting out a Savage LWH in .243 by adding a suppressor which apart from the obvious health benefits puts enough weight back into the pointy end to make it that much more stable (as long as the wind does'nt catch it at 90 degrees).
