[QUOTE="martinakl, post: 1429694, member: 74115"] Budget would be a great place to start. lightweight builds seem to add up quickly. I'll be into my current lightweight build for over $4K, once said a done (before optics). Lone Peak Ti action, carbon barrel, Manners Elite Stock and all the misc parts like bottom metal, brake, trigger, etc. Factory option: Kimber Montana or Mountain Assent might be worth a look. I don't know if a critter would know the difference between a 280AI, 7mm WSM/SAUM, 7mm mag with a 160 grain bullet. You could probably re-barrel a used Kimber (270 WSM, 300 WSM, 325 WSM) into 7mm WSM/SAUM. I bet you could find a donor rifle in 270 WSM or 325 WSM pretty cheap. Kimber Pro's Great triggers, great stocks, long mag box (WSM rifles). [/QUOTE]
