I'm looking for a lightweight RH bolt action rifle in .308 Win caliber. Needs to shoot at least MOA. Weight needs to be 6 pounds or less. 18-22" barrel. Brake or no brake. Would prefer a floorplate over ADL configuration. Flush magazine OK too. Open to most brands except Savage and Tikka, and willing to look at most any price point. I'm fairly particular about cosmetics; it needs to be excellent to near-new. .308 Win is not a very sexy caliber these days, so I'm hoping you may have something sitting in the back of the safe that will work for me. If you have something, please send me a PM and we will go from there. Thanks for looking.

Whelenaway, I would never have considered a wood-stocked rifle because my stereotype said "wood stocked rifles are too heavy." That 84M Classic is sweet at 5-10 and looks great too. I'm gonna check it out. I need to have at least one wood-stocked rifle anyway, right?

YES, you need a wood stocked rifle. Rifles with plastic stocks have no soul. When the couple extra ounces that a wood stock weighs is the reason I don't get up the mountain, it will be time to take up golf.

Centershot, I feel your passion for wood. Ironically, I have a Bachelors Degree in wood technology (engineering of wood products) and manage lumber mills for a living. And I have very fine walnut and mahogany furniture in my home. I've just never liked wood on my firearms. Probably because I'm OCD about cosmetics and don't want to scratch or dent the wood. Soul-less synthetic stocks can be banged around and rarely show the affects. I've got my eye on a Kimber 84M Classic, though. A serious eye. ;-)
