[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1495755, member: 103303"] Try to get some trigger time with a really light rifle first. I find those ~5lb ultralights tricky to shoot well. Combine a little wind and a 'non resting' heart rate, the light platforms seem to amplify everything. Personally I'd recommend buying a tikka in the caliber of your choice, drop it in a wildcat composites ultralight stock. Great availability and OOTB accuracy. If you can keep the optic to around 16oz, with talleys the package will weigh around 7lbs all up. [USER=29953]@Weatherby Fan[/USER] makes some great points. How big is your frame? Might not be what you're looking for, but I've found 7 - 7-1/2lbs to be a good compromise when it comes to portility vs shootability. Then again, I'm a little over 6', a little over 200lbs. [/QUOTE]
