what do you want to do with it?
I have a Rem M7 AWR in 7-SAUM. It tips 7#, 2oz scoped with a 3-10x40 VX3. It's my carry rifle, goat rifle, whatever abuse rifle. In this guise, the short action makes sense as it shaves an ounce or two off the package. Drops 140's and 160's into little 3/4" groups - plenty good for a lightweight mountain rifle.
I figure if you are loading 180's or 190's you've got to be looking at a long ranger. 28" bbl, heavy barrel, drive for max velocity in a long tube. Weight's probably not the same criteria I used.
So, what do you want to do with it?
