I lugged around my 17 lb 338 RUM last fall and it wasn't too much fun.

My daypack doesn’t weight 17lbs…that is a sweet rigExactly haha. Hard to be lightweight with 30” barrel, bipod, Gen 3 Razor, and TBAC 338 Ultra.
Shoots great though!

Thanks! Definitely not my go to rifle for every hunt. I think I’ll go with a less chunky rig this fall.My daypack doesn’t weight 17lbs…that is a sweet rig

Which Arca/pic rail did you go with?Just finished building a Tikka Roughtech 6.5PRC with the vert grip, recoil pad, victor cheekrest, SRS arca/pic rail and topped with the new Vortex Viper HD 5x25x50. Shoots lights out with the Hornady 147 ELDM and sits right at 9lbs, 9.13 with the YHM Resonator R2 threaded on
The SRS hunters rail made for the Tikka. Bolted right up perfectly. Really like itWhich Arca/pic rail did you go with?
I'm very happy with it. I worked up some accurate loads easily enough and my bull last year went straight down at 436 yards with full penetration. Based on the exit wound, the bullet did expand (estimated impact velocity of ~2432 fps).How do you like the 145LRX? I was debating between that and the 150TTSX for my 280AI, ended up opting for the extra weight
Whitworth in .375 Holland & Holland
I'd recommend something a bit stouter; something along the lines of a .416 Rigby
