BobinNH Campfire 'Bwana B Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 35,900	Originally Posted by handwerk My lightest BG rifle is this pre 64 M70 30'06 FWT/ mcm edge. As it sits it weighs 7 1/4 lbs..... from there to 8 lbs. seems to be the sweet spot for my needs and style of hunting. I've tried the kimber 84 but it was just too light and petite for me. I'll take the rifle shown above and hunt the whole Continent. Bet i can hit Ringman's 150 yard moose off hand, too. Last edited by BobinNH; 02/16/15. The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
