So many great lightweight rifles available today! My short list is as follows, choose based on your available budget just how Uber light you want to go and stock fit.
NULA
Barrett Fieldcraft
Kimber Montana, Mountain Ascent ect.
Savage Lightweight Hunter
Tikka Superlite
For me personally the CLR/NULA hybrid is the perfect answer all up weight 7lbs 3ounces (rifle scope ammo sling) the stock fits me so well and they are the most consistently accurate rifles with multiple loads.
A step down big time in price I like Tikkas and put up with their factory stock. One day I might get a McMillian for my superlite.
Pretty good list Matt. Are McMillans available for the Savage? The position of the last 2 may be debatable, but other than that I would completely agree with you. I wish I would have bought a NULA 20 years ago and skipped everything I've bought since. I bought a very early Forbes last year,one of the first 20 made, and it is excellent in every way.I still want a NULA but I don't see how it could be 4 times as good as this Forbes.I'm afraid I would only get a lot better fit and finish for my money.
