[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 907723, member: 54178"] [b]Re: Light weight midrange rifle ??'s UPDATE:[/b] I just purchased a new Ruger American in 22-250 for coyote hunting. It is well designed and "inexpensively made" (i,e, NOT cheaply made) And it's light. It comes in 30-06, .270 Win., .308, .243 and several other popular calibers. Many great features that put it a few rungs above the Savage version. It's clear that Ruger copied the Savage stock almost entirely. -> Ruger uses an innovative aluminum block V bedding system that also houses the pillars for the two action bolts. The V blocks mate with machined V cuts in the bottom of the reciever for a fit that does not require a barrel recoil lug. -> 3 lug bolt with 70 degree bolt lift -> VERY good and adjustable trigger -> 4 round flush fitting rotary magazine -> tang safety and trigger blade safety -> hammer forged barrel I have not had time yet to sight it in with my old Burris Fulfield 6-18X target scope. I'm hoping for 3/4 MOA accuracy with the right load. More on accuracy later. [/QUOTE]
