less than my other rifles. I,m thinking Tika 3Tx, Light weight 6 lug Weatherby , or Kimber Hunter. I,m not crazy about the M77 with those
fat shells. Not as smooth a action as my model 70,s and Weatherby Vanguards. I was thinking 30/06 as I don,t have that Cal. What advice
do you guys have?


Watch your scope weight. Light rifle with big ass scope defeats the purpose of light rifle. Seen it done. smile
