[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 2029337, member: 2736"] First, glad you made it through the Covid Virus and are able to start hunting again. It is easy to shave some weight buy going to a short action and a light weight composite stock. Cartridge choice is based on what you want to hunt with it. If whitetails, the 7/08 would be prefect. If larger and tougher than whitetails, something like a short mag (7 or 300 WSM would be recommended. If Elk or larger The cartridge could still be a short mag but in a larger caliber Like the 338 RCM. All of the cartridges mentioned plus more, can be built in a short action and weight can be less than 7 pounds without any modifications to the action or barrel. The downside to lightweight rifles are recoil so you might consider a Muzzle brake. Good Hunting J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
