Just throwing this out there...
Something like an Element Mg 4.0 chassis system in 7 Rem Mag, long throated, with a 26" medium heavy barrel and muzzle brake. About 8.5-9.5 lbs fully outfitted depending on scope weight.
Not exactly ultra light, but very manageable for hiking.
For the range...Just add a pound or two of weights to the rails and in the buffer tube. Now you have an 11 lb bench rider...
7 Rem Mag, with an 8 twist, 26" bbl should get you 2950 fps with a 175 class bullet with a 0.330-0.350 G7 BC. That's good for about 2200 fps and 1900 ftlbs at 500 yards. That'll thwack any moose or elk I'd think.
With a 180-190 VLD or ELD, you're BC will go up above 0.350, and should be supersonic to a mile or more depending on elevation and temp.
Just a thought...
