Am I the worst shooter on the forum or the worst at story telling

[njlondon]

Has anyone here had good luck (or maybe skill?) shooting MOA repeatedly with a light weight hunting rifle ( under 7lbs with optic) with a decently powerful round? I bought a very light rifle in 308 win as many others made it sound as if if they were wonderful to carry and with a little practice are just as accurate as any other rifle. I have tried to tweek rounds and perfect form and be good with the fundamentals but I have found it to be frustrating and futile. It's fine for closer ranges for minute of deer but I don't have any confidence in it for longer shots as I do with my heavier rifles .... Although it is very easy to carry.... Am I nuts?!

I use an older Remington Model 7 in .308.
Rifle itself is 5 lbs., 4 oz. weight 18 ½ “ barrel, stock is Kevlar reinforced fiberglass.
Has a 3-9 scope and is surely under 7 pounds.
It consistently shoots 1.25 inch groups at 100 yards, holds zero well, and is just about perfect for Pennsylvania woods (Allegheny National Forest).
Quite a fireball at dusk. Alas, I've stopped hunting so it'll find it's way to the EE, I suppose.
You can find them at some gun shows if you want an ultralight rifle at a low price.
First production was 1983; don't confuse them with the current, heavier 20" barrel ones.
