Ruger Hawkeye All Weather Yep, they have been discontinued, but there are several still on dealers shelves. It would be one of my choices too. All steel, a good open trigger design, and most are very accurate. In the price range, they'd be hard to beat.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I'm pretty fond of those too.

Winchester EW, in an Edge. Weighs 7lbs 5 oz as pictured. Puts 3 shots of most anything into .5-.75 MOA ![[Linked Image]](http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m513/jmr40/2013cohutta018_zps80d98931.jpg) I have a Kimber and it is nice too, but I don't consider it an all around rifle. If you absolutely have to keep weight down under 6 lbs scoped it is the best game in town. The Kimber is plenty accurate, but I just shoot this a bit better overall and at 7 1/4 lbs scoped isn't really heavy.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I like the looks of the laminated Hawkeye Predator. Think it comes in 308.

I have Remington and Tikka and the Tikka T3 gets my vote. This coming from a diehard Remington fan.

Nothing against Kimber but I hold better with a little more weight. T3 and Weatherby S2/Howa came to mind. Rugers are solid as well. The EW above is a nice package and not heavy at all. How are the new triggers on the new M70s? As reliable and durable as older models?

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

I think it would be hard to convince momma I need "another" hunting rifle with that jem in the safe
