30-378 Weatherby Accumark, Leupold 3x9x40 LR Reticle. I wanted to build a rifle but decided to go with a factory rifle that had everything that I wanted? Accurate, .30 cal, and weather proof.  :dunno:

also 50mm obj. Really? why?

i feel it should have the most versitility as far as always being able to take the shot. it's not like i'm sitting on some guys field 20 minutes from the house and i can come back tommorow. i want to be able to take the shot at anytime (legally) low light conditions included.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

my favorite rifle to carry is my remy 700 cdl 270 wsm. Love it. 140 gr accubond will kill anything. They main thing for me is having a short action period for a mountain gun. The more I have been reading about the 7mm-08 the more i want one. So a rem 700 alaskan ti chambered in 7mm-08 will be my next rifle purchase. With a 3-9 vx 3 leupold is perfect for me.

 I agree about the short actions, thats the base of a lightweight rifle. I think that set-up would be pretty good.
