Toss the FS stock, though. I did (had to, it warped like a bastid).
A McMillan makes a WORLD of difference.
Still, scoped, loaded, and slung with the FS stock, it was 9.5 lbs. For a .308 class rifle, that's WAY unnecessary. The McMillan put it at 8.5#, and for a 9.3, that's fine. The Ruger should come in at least 1/2 pound (if not more) under that.
I could give a damn what the barrel looks like, I only want it to shoot. BTW - the CZs have about the longest throats on their chambers of any rifle I've seen.
For what the OP is looking for, a Kimber Montana wouldn't suck, at all.
