Thanks for your response. We are on the same page.
I'd just point out that in 2008 when I bought my
70, Black Shadow in 300 WM.... it was the 'lightest' rifle I owned. Including the 26" bll. EDIT: SECOND lightest rifle .. I already had the T 3 in 270. (sorry)
NOW my Tikka T 3 Lite SS 270
AND
Tikka T 3X Lite SS 7mm RM are my lightest rifles.
I have considered selling - even yesterday - the 300 but I CAN'T make myself get rid of it. Irrational !! I like it.

Nothing irrational about acquiring and hanging on to something you like.
I say this as one who just purchased , wait for it....... a Ruger Old Army percussion revolver, just because!
