[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2372683, member: 117774"] About 15 years ago, I wanted an ultralight as I was getting older and didn't want to lug a 8 1/2 lb rifle around so I bought a remington 700 TI in 7-08. Around 6 1/4 lbs with leupold 2 1/2X8 and Talley rings. Never could get groups under 1 1/4 MOA so I sent it away for tuning and then a new barrel. Mark did not want to work on a Ti Action so it went to someone else. Still nothing under 1 1/4 MOA. Called Mark and he asked if I realized how difficult it is to shoot a gun that light accurately on the bench and worse yet in the field and I replied no. So I now know my lightest accurate gun for ME is about 7 1/2 lbs which is still about two lbs lighter than what some of my friends carry. [/QUOTE]
