A Tikka T3 Super Lite is damn hard to beat when you look at weight/accuracy/price.

Weatherby ULW. I.ve had a few and they all shot well. I had MD's 240, great gun, 2 280's both shot sub moa and a 338-06(SBGM) tha shot sub moa with 180's and 210's, never tried heavier. The Weatherby stock fits me very well, and probably a big reason I am partial to them, and the guns balance and handle great IMO

I've owned both a T3 and a colt/NULA hybrid. I prefer the CLR/NULA but love the T3 for its value. I haven't tried out a Montana yet but it's on my list.

I just bought the wife a T3X Superlite in 7mm-08 - it's 5-15 bare and 7-3 with a 2x12 VX-6. It's also a shooter. Very nice rifle for the $

Around ten years ago, I picked up a 700 mt rifle in 270 for $250. I replaced the synthetic stock with a laminate from an LSS and put a VX 2 3-9 on it.
The gun shoots under 1" groups with 130 and 150 gr at 100 yds. This fall I did a 3" group at 450 yds with Hornaday American Whitetail ammo.
This is the gun that my 2 sons and I all want to carry for PA woods hunting. I know it's not in the weight range of some of these guns being discussed but its light enough for me. (And a whole lot cheaper):)

Dave, I know where there's a good Kimber Montana in 260. The current owner is a real nice guy and may let it go for just a small profit.

are all the tikka long actions? Yes, regardless of caliber, they are all built on long actions and utilize a bolt stop.

My light weight rifle is better than yours.

Just realized the new T3x 223 come in 1/8 twist....I was hard charging after a Montana but now I'm stuck on the fence thinking about a compact T3x they come 20" barrel and 12.5" LOP also have a 1" spacer to increase LOP if you want...hard to turn down for the money.

Go to stores that have rifles for sale and handle all you can find. Select the one you like best. Of the new center fire light hunting rifles I like the Kimbers. http://www.kimberamerica.com/rifles
