Planning on building a lightweight STW with my tax return next spring. Anyone use one for backcountry hunting?
I really need something for long range deer and possibly elk. Pretty sold on the caliber. It would take a lot to change my mind on this.
I've seen a lot of guys running Senderos and other heavy rifles. I've got a heavy 22-250 and it's no fun to hunt with even for short walks. Can't even shoot it off hand.
Thinking of going with an 700 SPS and having it worked over. Probably put a Swarovski Z5 or a Vortex on it. I'd go Nightforce but they are way to heavy and expensive.
Any input?
Not worried about ammo. Not much different than any other caliber lately and I handload.
