Here's my beater for driven game hunts. Win M70 SS Featherweight cal. 308 Win. in a Mc Hunters Edge stock, barrel bobbed to 20". It weighs 6 pounds 1 ounce with the X/S ghost ring sight which takes all of 10 seconds to install. I normally hunt it with a Bushnell Li'l P prism sight or a Holosun red dot. With either one the rifle weighs 6 pounds 4 ounces, a very slick handling little carbine.
I just found your post scrolling through this thread. Funny, I put one together last year that almost looks like its twin, but it's a push feed .358 in a B&C stock. I also used a Ruger front sight.
