[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2434380, member: 105681"] My wife shoots a Kimber Montana in 280 AI. Weighs about 7 lbs fully scoped and loaded. Has some recoil being so light so I wouldn't recommend a super light rifle if you were leaning towards the 7 mag. Stay at 8 lbs for that guy. I shoot my 25-06 at antelope and have killed plenty of bucks and a handful of elk with it. The 115 Ballistic Tips are excellent on antelope and deer. I like the 110 Accubonds or 120 partitions for elk. On the high budget end the Springfield Waypoint and Barrett Fieldcraft are very accurate rifles out of the box and on the budget side the Tikka T3 or even cheaper the Ruger American Predator series in 6.5 Creed, 260 or 7mm-08 make some excellent shooting rifles. Our Kimber shoots ridiculous groups for a super lightweight rifle but I have heard they can be hit or miss. Control feed and 3 position model 70 clones always make me comfortable. You are in for a good time researching all these recommendations I promise you that. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
