I've got a T3 Lite in 308 and a T3x Lite in 30-06. They're cheap and they shoot well without a lot of the tuning that some other rifles seem to need. Load development on mine was pretty straightforward, especially with the 308.
But with a Leupold VX-R 3-9x42 in Warne rings on a Picatinny rail and a sling, it's really close to 8 pounds. The 30-06 is OK at that weight and I wouldn't want it any lighter. I much prefer to shoot the 308 at that weight.
