Nice set up. I run something broadly similar, an 85 .243 with a 20in barrel and a dpt can. It’s not particularly light with the chunky sako rings and bases combo, and a heavyish scope. But really...

They dont even need to be crazy hot or anything. I had a 20" barreled 270 pushing 150 LRAB at 2850 and smacked over all sorts of stuff way out to 600yds+ with it no worries, done more hunting with...
