358wsm,
I have to admit, my go to rifle is a M70 feather weight in 30-06, I've had one for over 50 years. If your a reloader you might look into the Woodleigh 240 gr made for the 06 velocity. rj308's got a fine looking rifle pictured. Bought a Forbes Rifle in 35 Whelen that I need to get broken out. Weighs in at about 6.5 pounds with a scope. Like someone said up above, light is nice, a little heavy on recoil when needed, but when needed you won't notice.
But, no matter what rifle and caliber you pick, the key is being able to use it confidently and reliably.
I will admit that I am a bit of a rifle nut, got one of those and 2 of those, which to choose.
John
