[QUOTE="Urban Shooter, post: 1888206, member: 111128"] You and I are similar. I Love the 7mm RM and have at least one in the safe for about 20 years. Have shot Muke Deer, Whitetails, and Antelope with the cartridge, one Antelope at 700 yards. I too wanted a light weight rifle and I recently bought a Mauser 18 in 7mm RM. The rifle weighs 6.5 lbs, and has a 5 shot (not 3) 1 MOA accuracy guarantee. It has a 24.4 in barrel, must be a metric thing as the gun is made in Germany. I put a Zeiss 3x15 scope on it, fairly light weight. The whole set up weighs in at 8lbs 3 oz. I re-load but also have Hornady Hunter Precision 162 gr factory ammo, as I have had this ammo shoot well in several 7mm RM's. The first 3 shot group I shot with this ammo went .546 at 100 yards, done. No need to try any other ammo or re-load. If you really are set with a 20 in barrel, you could take this rifle to a competent gunsmith and have him cut and thread the barrel. The Mauser 18 costs less than $500, so even having the barrel cut and threaded won't set you back much. Just my take, good luck on your quest! [/QUOTE]
