Lots of good suggestions and the one in the classified ads looks most tempting but I'd like one that weighed a tad more. I know the 7-08 probably doesn't kick near as much as my 270 but a 7 lb or so rifle would be good. I'm not familiar with the A7 Sako but will look into that one. So far none found in Savage. I'm not much into synthetics. I'm a "woody" type of guy. smile

My Weatherby S2 is a tack driver. Though it is a synthetic stock.

You want 7 lbs all ready - Find a Kimber Classic Select

7 lb bare - buy that Featherweight, believe their pushing 7 lbs.

Mine is a Weatherby Mark V. It is the 6 lug action and the wood stocked rifle was a bit less than 7 lb before putting a scope on it. Weatherby doesn't show it as a current product, so it would have to come up on the used gun market for you.

This.

SA FWT should be just shy of 8lbs with LW Talleys and a 12oz scope.

checkout savages and marlins,one dosent need the big name rifles to be accurate and last,seems most of them are just a name anymore.marlins can use savage barrels.i wouldnt spend the time to even checkout kimbers and such,most folks still have to tweak them just like an off the shelf rifles so whats the difference other than bragging rights.

If you're a "woody" type and want a 7 lb. rifle the Cooper Model 22 in the Classic or one of the other stock styles ought to fill the bill. For the price IMHO no other production rifle offers the value that a pre-enjoyed Cooper does in regard to qualiity of the wood, fit, finish, trigger excellence and accuracy. I've owned a bunch of em' and had 'nary a stinker. No "roulette" there.

Just sayin'

It's all simple , find a rifle YOU like for YOURSELF than see if it's available in a 7-08.

Oh, it does. I have their catalog and price list. I've already looked at them.

The repeater models 52, 54 and the new 51 are harder to sneak up on than the single shot models 21, 22, and 38. I've yet to buy one that was not pre-enjoyed. Most folks don't shoot that much and a nick or two just shows character.

Keep an eye out for First Stop Guns' used gun line-up on GunsAmerica. Karnis has had a nice Kimber he's tricked in the Classifieds that I'd not hesitate to own for a second........

ain't nuthin' wrong with a 270 Win.

GWB,
Is that Browning a factory gun? I have not seen one with barrel like that.
Thanks

7-08 Remi futon Mountain Rifle in stainless with the laminated stock is a real nice rifle. My brother has used one exclusively for ten years. It rolls deer without much fuss; in fact, you can watch the impact through the scope due to the mild recoil. I have one, just not sure I want to part with it.
