I’m looking for another rifle. I want a bolt action with a wood stock, and preferably a compact or lightweight model in 7-08, 260 or 257roberts. Something like a model 7 CDL, Win m70 FWT compact, Ruger Hawkeye compact... My lightweight 308 Model 7 will still be my go-to gun, but it’s definitely not as good looking as something with wood furniture.

Wouldn’t mind getting another lightweight synthetic rig either though in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5PRC, 6.5x284, 7-08 or 7SAUM something like a Kimber Montana or Savage 116 Lightweight Hunter, though if I can save up a little my eye is really on a NULA or Seekins Havak Element. My 308 is a fantastic gun but with its short barrel and 2-7x scope it’s setup as the perfect gun for Appalachia, not for longer range shooting.
