[QUOTE="TGR141, post: 2477072, member: 122266"] Looking for a lighter weight 280 AI, I don’t like the feel of the Kimbers. I’m down to the Savage Ultralight vs Weatherby Hunter. I got my hands on the Savage and was surprised that I liked the feel of it. I do know the concerns about the stock and noticed a little flex in the forearm when handling it. I wish it had a 24 inch barrel for the 280 though. The Weatherby Hunter seems like another option, but I can’t find one to handle anywhere. It does have the 24 inch barrel I wanted but some reviews I’ve seen were reports of not the best accuracy. Definitely not sub MOA. All reports on the Savage/proof accuracy have been great. So I’m looking for opinions from guys on these 2 particular rifles in hopes to pull the trigger on one of them. I don’t need the weight savings of the Backcountry or Mountain Ascent, just looking for a 6 pound rifle to build up a rig on from there. Thanks [/QUOTE]
