[QUOTE="ducky, post: 2675552, member: 94420"] Tikka rifles are too heavy, they were the first place I looked. Kimber was the second, the Mountain Ascent is the only one that will make my goal. Finding a new one is tough, got my eye on a couple used if they last until my back pay comes in. The last Fieldcraft I saw was over $3K and not a .308. A NULA would have been great if I was smart enough to order it when Melvin was still building rifles. The Backcountry 2.0 TI is about $1K over my budget. Easiest way to get to my goal weight is not use the suppressor, that'll take a pound right off but I don't want to. However, I could buy a TBAC Ultra 5 and save 8 ounces. I've looked at other optics, but a VX3 3.5-10X40 and Talleys only saves me 9 ounces. A Manners UL saves me around 5 ounces. So buying a Howa or Kimber is the cheapest route and still use my suppressor. [/QUOTE]
