It'd be tough to top a stainless steel SA 700, chambered in 7 SAUM/WSM with an AICS footprint bottom metal, barreled in a Remington magnumish contour twisted 1:8, a McMillan standard-fill stock with your preferred ergos, scoped to your desires. Flinging a high B.C. bullet it'll do most anything you'd ask of a rifle in the 8-8.5 pound range.
