Blaser is the best option but very pricey. When alpine hunting where there are no bears (New Zealand), I use a T/C Contender in 308 Bellm. 300 Savage performance in a 5 pound package. The Encore is at least a pound heavier. Where bears are a concern, T/C Dimension. Any conventional bolt action rifle can be removed from the stock. However, most stocks are 31 1/2 inches long and this method requires reassembly with a torque wrench on the other end and sighting in to confirm zero. There are numerous custom gunsmiths who offer takedown conversions where the barrel unscrews from the action and the stock is cut off at this junction. This results in a shorter broken down overall length but these conversions are $800 - $1000 over the cost of the firearm.
