Who hunts with a 10lb+ rifle?

[General RE LEE]

Hunting fields, deer often run back into the woods if they don’t drop in the field. I have had to track a few and being able to see where they entered woods after the hit is important. Much easier to watch in the scope with a light recoiling rifle vs the having to see what happened from a hard kicking gun.

Ya when you gotta put your hat back on and wipe the snot off your face you know your not going to see what way he went.

Finishing up a 300 PRC on a Kelbly Nanook. 8.5lbs as is, add about 2 more lbs for scope and rings.

It depends on where you you live/hunt. Midwest cornfields, its about a Harris that will get you above the stalks…..7”ish. Pastures, you’ll need to get creative, the big bluestem is several feet tall. Not constant, but enough to make a precision shot at >500 yds enough to make you think twice. Plan ahead…..2x4 and and some cheap plywood screwed together beforehand can make it all come together beautifully.
