The rifle should weigh close to 9.5 pounds with scope. Putting a limb saver butt pad. So it should not be to bad. Actually the 250s will probally set up to push 2850 so it will work with the new Leuipold Boone and Crocket rangefinder scope. I will probally have some 200s made up to shot 3150 to 3200. Then I will just move the first hash to 300 yard instead of 200.
