I'm thinking about purchasing a lightweight bolt rifle, probably in my long-favorite caliber of 308 Win. I'd appreciate any first-hand input on the brand(s) of rifles you'd recommend: Sako 85 Carbonlight? Kimber Mountain Ascent? What others are out there that are in the same weight range that should be considered?
Given some of the lightweight rifle threads, we first have to define "lightweight"..........
6 1/2 lbs or less all up--Ultralight.
7 lbs or less--Lightweight.
7 - 7 1/2 lbs--normal sporter.
7 1/2 to 8 lbs--dont walk to far from the truck.
Over 8 lbs--hire a gunbearer..........
