[QUOTE="DNADave, post: 1906673, member: 110467"] A Weatherby .340 Wby Mag would get you similar performance, factory ammo (and while availability is better than for the NM, better is relative. Don't expect WM levels of availability), and a standard magnum bolt face. Lightest factory offering from Weatherby seems to be around 7 3/4#, though. MSRP ranges from $1500-$2000 for the three below and they are in order of increasing weight with the heaviest being 8#. You'll have some money left for optics with these options, too.
