So I spent the last week humping the hills of western Colorado looking for elk. Long story short I humped just a few hills here to no avail.... weather is just to warm. Anyway I was carrying a 300 Win Mag that weighs just over 11 pounds when I left the truck and close to 80 when I got back at night. So I am thinking about building a 284 Win with a 22" sporter contour barrel. Thinking that it would work well out to about 400 yards which is further than I would be shooting in the country I was hunting this year.

Any thoughts?
