[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 1483626, member: 32525"] Oh then this definitely wouldn’t fit the bill. Sorry, I saw the request for light but thought the 5r would work (very light compared to some rigs out there!). I didn’t see that 7lbs requirement, so I’d say try to find a used, older model (70’s or 80’s) Rem700 ADL or try some of the Tikkas or Savages. My go to deer rifle is a 1970’s ADL in .270win topped with a plain and simple VX3 3.5-10x40...it easily weighs under 10 pounds total. Outside of those I don’t have much experience as my other rifles these days tend to be around the 9 to 11 pound range before a scope...but I know the 7 pounders out there and the folks on here will steer you right. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
