My votes go to Kimber Montana or NULA/ULA . I am not a .308 fan, but other calibers in these brands have served me well. I have a Pre-64 Winchester FWT in 270 Win, but it is not in the same category with regard to weight.

Not quite, but as JMR40 stated earlier there's a happy medium when it comes to weight, balance and shootability and I'll tell you, at 6.5 pounds, my old 270 fwt is damn hard to beat.... The Tikka and Montana are damn intriguing though when it comes right down to it...
