[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1721014, member: 10755"] My one true purpose bought lightweight rifle is my Kimber Select 300WM, with sling, loaded and Leupold VX-III 3.5-10x40, It comes in at 8 1/4lbs. I tried lightening it more, but just couldn't see where I could remove material without weakening the action. I have fluted the bolt body however. I also bought a Kimber Super America in 338WM, not knowing it was a full lb heavier than the select. (Hard to tell in the shop which rifle was heavier). Light rifles have a place, but it seems Kimber, Cooper and Winchester are the only companies trying to sell light minded rifles. All of my Win EW's come in a tad over 7lbs bare. Another easily lightened action by fluting bolts and skeletonizing bolt handles. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
