I have a BDL stainless synthetic in .300 RUM. Rifle is 8.5 lbs with scope, sling and 4 rounds. Don't know much about what Weatherby offers around that weight. I know that the Alaskan Wilderness rifle was chambered in .300 RUM at one time. I'd look around for one of them. mtmuley
REM 700 SPS RUM compared to WBY MKV Ultralight 300 WBY?

What I did worked for me and my budget. Bought a 300RUM SPS for $500 new then slowly upgraded it as I could afford it and now I have an excellent all around hunting rifle. Upgrades listed below.
High Score Gunsmithing Hunter brake $150 installed
Armor Black Cerakote $180 also done by High Score
Timney Trigger $110
Warne 1-piece scope base $75
Warne Tactical Rings $75
Vortex 6-24 HS LR BDC FFP $820
H-S Precision Thumbhole Sporter stock $375 from Stocky's Bedded with High Score bedding material
Harris Bypod $90
Hogue Grabber Sling $20
This rifle shootes MOA, I can cold bore out to 850 yards on steel plate, have not tried anything farther but I bet it would hit. $2000 and I have a great hunting rifle! Not saying there is anything wrong with the other choices that have been mentioned just providing my experience.
