Weighed three of my rifles yesterday. The ,30-06 MKII with the skeletonized boat paddle was about a half pound lighter than the .280 Rem Hawkeye the newer synthetic stock.

Doesn't matter much to me. While I prefer the boat paddle, the new synthetic is a good stock.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
