[QUOTE="hrnhntr, post: 1194040, member: 46677"] So i am looking for info on nice light rifles in the $1000-$2000 range. Let me specify some things. First I am looking at either 7mm, 300WM, or 300WSM for caliber. I'm not looking for opinions here as everyone has their own opinion. I am looking for people who have light rifles in this price range. I am looking really hard at the Christensen Ridgeline. It is a fairly light rifle, but with a barrel that should be able to shoot a group without waiting excessive time between shots like with a Kimber Mountain Ascent. I will be putting a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22 so I am looking to save some weight on the gun. Anyone have a Ridgeline or something in a similar weight/price that they might suggest. I am going to be selling my other three hunting rifles to buy this rifle. Then hunt everything with the same rifle. I currently have a Remington XCRII in 300RUM with Bell and Carlson Medalist stock, Timney trigger, and vias muzzle break. I had a Huskemaw Blue Diamond 5-20X50 I am going to be selling as well. Then for a lighter rifle I have a Remington Mountain Rifle in 270 with Timney trigger. It has a Leupold 4.5-14X40 CDS. And as somewhat of a back up I have a Remington XCRII in 280 with Bell and Carlson Medalist stock and Timney trigger. This also has a Leupold 4.5-14X40 CDS. All the rifles shoot good, but I want one rifle going forward so I am extremely familiar and proficient with it. The old saying beware of the one rifle man or however it goes. Thanks in advance for any feedback or advice. [/QUOTE]
