My buddy has a .308 MT..... he had a "mad minute" this year involving filling both deer tags in very short order, and commented on this stuff. I think he said it came up FAST but was hard to settle. He's hunted scores of rifles...
My 7-08 MR is in that ballpark. It's in a blind stock, and I put a PT&G aluminum trigger guard on it, and a Gre-Tan shroud. Talleys and a 2.5-8. It's light.
On the flip side, I lugged my new heavy 7 WSM on my backpack hunt this fall. It was awesome to have when it was time to shoot, but it suuuucked the rest of the time.
