[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1205947, member: 54178"] I have a Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker in .300 Win. mag with the"Eclipse" stock as an "option" that I purchased after buying the rifle. That laminated stock is very nice and very [B]HEAVY[/B]. But hey, the Eclipse target rifle is for target shooting where weight is a factor on the positive side. Now I have a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. It cost me exactly $1,000. (plus tax.) and is supremely accurate with the right load. 1/2" groups with 140 gr. Hornady ELD-M [I]factory[/I] cartridges is almost boringly common. Can't wait to start reloading. Like the Browning Eclipse, the RPR is is around 14 lbs. with my Bushnell ERS 3.5 - 21 X 50 FFP scope and mount. As I said, target rifles tend to be heavy. And like the Browning the Ruger has a 3 lug bolt which is the main reason I bought my A-Bolt 20 years ago. As was famously said many decades ago, the only interesting rifles are accurate rifles.
