I'm actually not overly concerned about weight.
Up here, the two types of hunting terrain are pretty thick woods and fields. My 336 is fantastic for hunting in the woods, I just don't particularly like shooting it much further than 50yds in it's current configuration (16" barrel, and a red dot).
What the new gun is going to be for is shooting across the fields so I'll be looking at 2-300yds - maybe further eventually, but not from my current location. Ill probably be shooting prone with a bipod, or maybe a sandbag from the 3rd story of the barn, so the only carrying I'll have to do will be up a couple of ladders. The field is kind of misshapen, though, so being able to get yardage without switching between 2 optics seems like it would be useful. Plus, it seems cool, and will probably impress my buddies
I think I'm just going to put some flags up in the field to determine wind.
Also, I'd like to start working on doing some longer range shooting through the year, so I was looking for something that could be used as something of a workhorse.
