[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1032594, member: 313"] Like most of the shooters here I've got a battery of hunting rifles. Most are semi or full custom builds. And, most tend to have quality (heavy) synthetic stocks, fairly rigid barrels and moderate-to-large scopes. All coming in at weights that don't lend themselves to carrying around too much. My varmint rigs are all very heavy. Recently I got the yearning for an ultra lightweight rifle that would be used for deer, bear, elk or any future hunting that would require difficult or lengthy walking. I was considering something in 280/284/308 class cartridge and a bare rifle around 5lbs or so. Left Hand, of course. Oddly enough I tripped onto a LH ULA 28 in 300WSM. Reportedly to be a safe queen that was rarely shot and never in the field. That is a rather unusual rifle to find, especially in 99% condition. At $2,700 I'm just wondering if I should compromise on what I had originally envisioned or to take a chance on the WSM. Decisions, decisions, decisions. :D [/QUOTE]
