Lightly loaded .308 - thinking 30-30 class bullets - making it a fun to shoot and quieter piece. With power in reserve for when it’s needed. Perfect for teaching newbies and pros alike.

Wouldn't mind looking for a clean specimen in 308 loaded just as you describe for woods whitetails.

The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
I’ve got two. Maybe not mild though unless loaded down. 30-06 M742 Remington Semi Auto and a Model 600 Remington in 308. The recoil on the 06 is more a push from the gas operated action but muzzle blast is loud and with slower powders looks like a blow torch!!! The 600 recoil is pretty stiff......
Not a classic..But the Howa Mini Action in 6.5 Grendel 20” lightweight is a very handy and light shooting rifle. At some point will put in a Boyd’s or Brownells laminate stock.
I also like the Original M1-Carbine. Although the caliber is not much of a hunting caliber, sadly.
I'd like to see one in 41 Mag.

Really? I have a Win FW M70 308, 20" barrel in a McMillan Edge (ultralight) stock. It weighs 5 pounds 15.5 ounces without scope. With an 8.5 ounce Weaver 1x3x20 and rings, it weighs 6 pounds 11 ounces. If you have one that weighs 6 pounds all up, please tell me what you did to get it that light. RJ
