I detect the age old problem of accuracy vs weight in here. Years ago I decided to push for accuracy. I ended up with a half dozen rifles that are terrific from the bench, but too heavy to tote in the field with any kind of ease. Had I went in the opposite direction I would have some wonderfully light weight rifles that were delightful to carry but probably didn't shoot that well, certainly not from the bench. It's all a tradeoff. The same thing with caliber selection and recoil. A heavy rifle will likely eat up much of the recoil, but at the unwanted expense of carrying it around. I guess we just have to make very careful selections. They all involve tradeoffs. Just one mans opinion. Best wishes.
