I have the Tikka T3 in 7mm-08 with Talleys and a Leupold VX-2 . I think it's just a hair over 7 lbs IIRC. Inexpensive setup as far as rifles go. Easy to shoot. No recoil issues at all and will easily group a 150 grain Nosler Partition in 1" all with stock parts.
Can't imagine the same outfit in .308 or 30.06 would add much weight or otherwise if he wanted something with some more oomph.
