Factory Ultralight rifle options?

Thanks everyone.
Just ordered the Camills for her in .243. I would have never looked into the Weatherby if I wouldn't have asked.

We done. Appreciate it.

I wanted to buy my daughter one of these but she's a lefty...

Those are sexy. That one and the one with the McMillan Game Warden. They're listed as 2023 Shot Show specials. Historically, the Shot Show specials have been hard to track down (at least for me). Sometimes become standard production models the next year.

Might be difficult to track down. I just looked at what the OP wanted and offered the link. I got my wife a XBolt Micro Midas. It's a handy little gun and recoil is tame for 7lbs all up. No threaded barrel so not really something to offer as a suggestion.

For what it's worth, I shoot righty or lefty and it's no bigga deal with a bit of practice to work the bolt with either hand off the right side.

May not help but it's there for ya if you wish to have her try.

6 pound 20" threaded barrel 6.5PRC. 13 5/8" LOP might be an issue though.

X-Bolt Pro SPR - Bolt-Action Rifle - Browning

I'll absolutely own one of these for myself.

Curious here but I take it you're backpacking in Montana? Hope you don't mind me asking but what general area and for what game?

Savage has carbon barrel ultra lite rifle.

CA Scout or Mesa, the Scout with a suppressor would be a great handy rig, barrel is 16", personally I'd go 308 and shoot 125-130s.

Held one recently, the forged carbon was impressive. Hopefully they add it as an option to the scout with the 16 inch barrel.

I'm thinking of having my barrel chopped down to 16.5" on mine actually as it will wear a suppressor

Love my Sig Cross. Has a folding stock too. You would have to go 6.5 Cm though.
