I'm getting older. I'm planning to migrate from elk hunting do deer. I don't really want a 9/10lb rifle for that. In the next year or so, I'd like to pick up a lightweight 6.5 that has some physical appeal (Rules out Tikka) and is capable of delivering at 600yrds. I've been trolling around on the production market, and I don't see it.

I assume all of the "light" rifles prefer to go with a short barrel because they're easier to make in a slim contour and still achieve some accuracy?


Not sure of the weight but this should come close to filling your dream rifle without having to do any upgrades, stock changes, etc.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
