[QUOTE="back2bowhunting, post: 1165424, member: 89009"] I like Ruger products. My dad has a Ruger he bought new in late 80s that's built like a tank. Nice workmanship that will last but it weighs like a tank too. I prefer to keep rifle in $800 range but may scrape for change to get Sako finnlight if I like it enough. I weighed several rifle setups today. My son's 7mm08 that I really like weighs 8 lbs. my two deer rifles Winchester model 70 in .270 and Sako finnbear AIII 7mm08 rem. magnum and both weigh 10 lbs. rigged out. Since I can't get comfortable with lightweight magnum and to keep costs down, I'm considering using my Sako more. Currently I don't use it because it has old Nikon scope that is not very bright and I don't want to scratch the gun. I may purchase some chaps and mount new scope and suck it up for extra two pounds to have magnum capability. Not exactly what I wanted to do but may be most practical. Thanks for all the input. Scope and rifle chaps suggestions appreciated. [/QUOTE]
