[QUOTE="BigSky112, post: 925334, member: 57778"] Don't over look a savage weather warrior (accu-trigger, pillar bedded, barrel floated, stainless) comes in at 6.9 to 7.1 pounds. Excellent calibers for your use are 6.5 X 284, 7 mag, also comes in a 300 wsm & 300 wm. The 6.5 X 284 and & 7 mag are by far more comfortable to shoot in a light weight gun. Hands down the Talley light weight 1 piece ring/base. Very solid for durability and accuracy. There are a bunch of good scopes out there, don't over look the Sightron Big Sky series. But my first concern is customer service, if you do have a issue it is usually a user caused problem in the back country (falling)(horses) etc. Leupold is probably unbeatable. Being in Oregon and usually a very short bench time make these scopes unbeatable. My personal experience with Leupold was a few years ago I had the cross hairs break in the scope, this was a little less than 2 weeks before our elk hunt. I called them and told them the the tight spot I was in. I was told to send it in immediately. They received it in 2 days, 3 days later I received a brand new scope (same model) in the mail from them. Inside was a note "Have a great Elk Hunt". you can't beat that ! gun) [/QUOTE]
