If you are using it mainly as a hunting rig, I'd want it light. That is what I look for in the guns I am going to be carrying and toting through the bushes. Quick handling Light and maneuverable.

you are thinking right the 26 inch barrel in a shooting house is a pain to even get it up and stick it out the window without bumping something. It is just not suited well for that.
Can't really have it both ways. Just get the lighter weight rifle to hunt with.... and if you want to shoot long range get a Ruger Precision or something like that next gun purchase.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

That was exactly my thought

Not to derail. But have you put your hands on a Christensen Arms Mesa? It's not much more...

YMMV but had a buddy buy the hells canyon in 26 nosler and it wouldn’t shoot a six inch goup. After a year they are finally making it right and sending him another gun.
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Personally I’d be looking at a Bergara HMR or B14 Hunter or even the Tikka CTR mentioned above. Any of those are a lot more rifle for the money than the Browning’s and are almost assuredly will be more accurate as well. I’ve owned or still own both Bergaras. There’s not a Browning in my safe that will come close to them in accuracy and that’s coming from a long time Browning fan. Browning has decided to chase cosmetics with their new rifles instead of focusing on making accurate rifles imho

I personally have a lowly little X-bolt Hunter model in 270 that will shoot sub MOA. Not saying all will, but they aren't all loose shooting either.
