Can't find a weight for the Barrett, and they simply say 5-6 lbs? I may call. But still, I think its going to come in $200 higher than I can get a mountain ascent, and be atleast 1/4 lb heavier at a minimum.
On the accuracy concerns with Kimber, a 1.5" group won't bother me. Its a deer rifle for the woods. I just don't want a 10" group ha.
Look at the link I posted on the Barrett. The weight for a 308 is exactly 5 lbs. There's a good chance the Kimber will shoot fine,but don't go by their guarantee. Their guarantee is actually nothing more than a statement of what should be,not a guarantee of what will be.
Since it's a deer rifle for the woods, why the need for the VX6 2-12? I put a Razor 1.5-8 on mine,which I like better than a VX6 anyway. Since you are counting ounces and paying big $$$ for them ,the choice of scope is a huge part. A simple VX2 2-7 is a great woods scope and much lighter,plus it balances on a Montana wonderfully.
