Funny thing, the lightest easiest to carry thing I have(besides my Super Blackhawk) is my Savage 111 270 package gun. I shoot 130s in it mostly. As I edge toward retirement I am thinking about using it exclusively for all my hunts( except for maybe AK, shopping for a 338 for that). Its light, way easy to carry, ammo's cheap, accurate, and I can get lighter bullet wt ammo for coyotes and other CO pests. Pretty it aint, but accurate it is. Its taken me 40 yrs but I know now why Jack O'C loved the 270 so.
