Savage misses weight by 8 ounces +-
Exactly right. I have a bunch of 165 Accubonds for my 308 that would be good elk medicine in an 06.
Yes, we understand you want a ready out-of-box, but we are simply sharing information that there are options. What you do with it is entirely up to you. Not everybody knows there are alternatives, so it is not a showstopper. Regarding additional cost, the muzzle thread cost is factored into the factory rifle's price, so it is not free.
Very nice rifle.
Absolutely beautiful rifle.

️& that's a load out of a manual. lol the great & mighty 7mag doesn't have squat on the Grand old 06' 
️can't find em 
Looking for a threaded muzzle in an oem '06 may make it quite a bit tougher to find exactly what you want. Maybe I'm out of touch but it seems like you've described a semi custom or rebarreled/trued action rifle, and 7.5 lbs puts many of those out of your realm. Whatever you choose, I'd recommend 1:10 twist up to 180 gr boolits.
