[QUOTE="FrogFire7, post: 1521322, member: 101482"] I just got a savage 7mm-08 lightweight hunter this year. I think they list 5.6 lbs bare gun. I had picked up my 6.5 PRC that I had previously planned to use, but groaned at the thought of lugging it up the mountains after whitetail. I think with the 2-7x32 sig scope and Talley rings I have on the lightweight hunter it it comes to like 6.6 lbs. Pretty happy so far, although I'm ALWAYS thinking abut other calibers :confused::D I'm planning to use in the elk mountains next fall, that was a big part of the decision to go light as well.
