I’ve always been a bolt guy. The heavier the better. The way I shoot prairie dogs, weight is not an issue. We pull up in a field along side a prairie dog town and set up shooting benches, and use the same rests we use at the range. My rifles are mostly trued Remington 700’s. Some have custom barrels some not. They are all glass bedded and have aftermarket triggers, some have lead in the stocks to weigh them down. Average rifle weight is about 12 lbs. we use 17’s and 223’s for out to 300yds. 204’s, 22-250’s, and 220 Swift’s out to about 600 yards. Then we break out the heavy 6mm’s and 6.5’s to shoot the far away stuff. I usually bring about 8 rifles on a trip.
