[QUOTE="HOT TUNA, post: 1520485, member: 95931"] Remington Model 7 or Savage 111 Lightweight Hunter chambered in .260 Remington would get my vote. 20” barrels on both. The Savage comes in at 5.5 pounds and the Remington at 6.5 pounds. The .260 Remington is very mild on recoil and will dump any deer that walks this earth in it’s tracks if the shot placement is good. I like to use 130 grain and 140 grain Bergers as they are very lethal on game. 6.5mm cartridges are very commonly used in Europe to hunt moose. To me that says a lot about their capabilities.
