Easy button would be a tikka, 20" 6.5 creedmoor at 5.9lbs.

I cannot offer an argument against this. Whenever I talk to a gunsmith about going smaller than #3 contour, they act like it is impossible. I think they don't like the risk that it won't turn out better than a much cheaper rifle. Gunsmiths seem to want to build 9lb hunting rifles. I kind of pushed myself towards a Tikka instead of a #3 with fluting.

My lightweight rifle would be an sig cross i think. I just really wish they made them in 6cm seems like that would be a good rifle.

I ordered the Tikka, time to figure out glass and rings, a stock, and suppressor, in that order.

Worst case scenario I'll use my CGS Hyperion for now. Its not exactly heavy by any means.

I run a an 18" 6.5creed.
140 berger vldh at 2600fps with a tbac ultra 5.
I'd be looking at a manners eh-1
Glass would be NX8 ~28oz or March ~22-24oz for me.
Rings ARC,seekins,NF, or unknown munitions.
