[QUOTE="silvertip-co, post: 261762, member: 8712"] For sheer weight reduct I would go with the 260 and 7mm-08, both have great ballistics if you study up on them, and will work for deer elk moose sheep at <500yrds. For myself I just bought a LH Sav 111 blk in 270, rifle weighs 6.5# bare. I'm going to go with a Burris or Pentax 2-7x32 which will add 13oz. With a few oz for the nylon sling I'll add I should come in under 8# and under $500. I took the time to weigh our rifles today and heres what I found: wifes mod 700ADL wood 243 with 3-9x....... 8# wifes mod 111 Sav wood 30-06 and 3-9x.... 8.3# my mod 111 LH Sav blk .223 with 4-12x 40 8.6# my mod 70 26" blk 7mm Rem Mag w/ 4-16x44 & bipod 11.5# All were weighed with slings on to get a good total for my aching back. I have a lot of hope for my 270 being an accurate all day carry rifle. Good luck with your choice. [/QUOTE]
