[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1930232, member: 68875"] What is "lightweight" to you? 6# scoped? 7#? 8#? 9#? What are the intended uses? Sheep? High county elk/deer? Treestand? Thick timber still hunting? Glass and ambush? Look at your required weight, then add up all other components, and see what you need. I would say 2b would be as light as I would go with any of the cartridge choices you listed. #3 or #3b fluted even. TI actions will help keep weight down. So will CF stocks. But both of these add a lot of cost. Optics choice can vary by 2+ lbs. But needs and wants dictate what you will need too. [/QUOTE]
