So I have narrowed it down I’m getting a 338win. However I need to find a rifle if that’s not successful I will order a Cooper however I’m trying to find a lightweight commercially produced.

Lightweight 338 doesn't sound like much fun, however stock fit will go a long way to reducing felt recoil so you may want to look at a M70, get it tuned up and stick it in a syn stock that is custom fitted to you. That would be the route I would go anyway.

I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

They told me on the phone they didn’t have it there. Maybe they do and the guy was wrong

The extreme weather I held the other day felt clunky

My Tikka T-3 SS is a lite good shooting rifle. Depending on scope on it my can go from about 7.3 #s to 7.8.
