Weatherby Ultralight in 30-06, 5 3/4 lbs plus a scope.
Yep, if you can find one of these on the used market they make a fine elk rifle. Mine is a 338-06 that I have killed one elk with and my son has a 30-06 he plans to take on his next elk hunt and leave the heavy 300wm home.
Like all lightweight rifles they can be hard to shoot without proper form, and both that we have needed some action bedding and both group best with a pressure point on the barrel. In both cases we replaced the factory pressure point which put uneven pressure on the barrel with a new one.
