Check out the Sako A7 original first version. They are lot lighter than recent models and they are priced the same as a new Tikka T3 SS SL.
I've even found the A7 for $650.00 and a little less.

If you can't find an A7 go for the Tikka T3 SL (Superlight)

Again, the SL and the A7 weigh the same. The SL may advertise less weight but they must be taking out the bolt when they weigh them.

Either way you'll have a 7 lb rifle scoped and ready to go.

I would also change out the recoil pad to a Limbsaver for either.

I have two of each and love them!


Yes I really like my 270 win Superlight !
Very accurate with sweet trigger.
Mine weighed exactly as advertised ,5.8 pounds or 5 pounds 12.5 ounces with the bolt
