[QUOTE="ThorThor, post: 801602, member: 67938"] My vote goes to a model 70 extreme weather 270 WSM. About 8 pounds with scope if you dont go to big on the scope. I love the caliber, had a tikka t3 SS 270 wsm that was lighter but not as well made as the new winchesters. Winchester Supreme 140 accubond is a good place to start for an all around load. It's a good backpacking / hiking gun that's just heavy enough to be steady for longer range work. Mine holds an inch or just under with 140 accubonds. At 3200ish feet per second they are flat shooting but will not beat you up at the range like a fast 30 will. Maybe a tad more than a 308 but not much. [/QUOTE]
