[QUOTE="TannerGun, post: 880291, member: 34793"] Buy a Tikka T3 Lite in 7mm Rem Mag or 7mm/08 and be done with it. I've searched for the right "light" rifle for a few years and you simply aren't going to get a 7lb scoped rifle that shoots any better than the Tikka, unless you're willing to spend a ton of dough. They are incredible shooters for their weight and price. I've been there done that with Kimber Montanas and light Rem 700s. Tikka is what I'll buy from now on. I'd love to grab one in 243 Win for my Sis and let her fling 87gr VLDs or 80 TTSX at stuff. This rifle was a dream to carry this season and shoots 168 VLDs and 162 A-Maxes really, really well. It wasn't much of a contest, but this buck caught one 168 at 220 yards and went down hard. I can't see buying many more hunting rifles after this 7 Rem.
