I bought a long range hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor. It shoots great. I also jumped on a good deal when they had the lightweight hunter model on sale with rebate. I have a .308 that, loaded with a sling and Weaver 4.75x fixed power scope, weighs under 7 pounds. It doesn't suck for carrying, and shoots great as well.

For the money, the lightweight hunter was really a good buy IMO.

Tubbs final finish on both. They don't copper foul more than my other rifles.
