im looking to have a rifle chambered in 585 HE made for me but im unsure of how heavy the rifle should be. my primary plan for the rifle is to load it down to 577 NE 3" velocities (2050-2100fps) and use it as a proper DG rifle.

my first thought is 12 pounds but since I have no experience with the 577 NE 3" cartridge Im unsure if that's suitable.

what are your thoughts?

thank you
