Other options that will get you close to 7 lbs would be a Ruger American or Remington Model 7 in an Edge or Brown stock. Obviously the Ruger gets you there the cheaper way. I'd look at 7mm-08 or 308 for those and stick to Talleys with a 10-12 oz scope.
Hard to argue with the Tikka or Montana route either.
