[QUOTE="shphtr, post: 1508800, member: 6162"] I have several of Melvin Forbes rifles. The rifles weigh as advertised and are accurate but took a bit of work to optimize accuracy. One of the most accurate rifles I have is a Melvin Forbes barreled action in 300 WM in a MPI stock. The rifle with 3 rounds in the mag, 4 rounds on the stock, rings and bases, sling and a 2.5 x 8 Leupold weighs 6 lbs 8 oz .... and kicks like a mule! If I wanted a light weight accurate rifle for mountain hunting I would strongly recommend a google search for the Fieldcraft Rifle manufactured by Barrett. There are several detailed write ups by a couple hunting mags on line that make informative reading. Cabela’s carries the line at a cost of about $1800 if I remember correctly. I personally do not own one ..... yet. [/QUOTE]
