This is my rifle I had built last year; 700 SA, Hi Tech stock (Brownells carries them) Benchmark barrel, chambered in 6.5X47L. Its hardly a LW as it has a #4 contour 24" tube, it however carries nicely. Unfortunately, the presence of this rig scared away all the Coues Whitetail, so I never got a chance to try it out.

Carried and shot my friend's lightweight Strata in 300WM two years ago and was blown away by what a difference two pounds makes at the end of a long hunt. I've been lusting after one of these in 270... </div></div>
Got one in 300WM also. Yes, it is very good stuff. And Lex, the man at Rifles Inc, is The Man.

Had a Jarrett Walk About in 7mm-08, great gun - pissed I sold it. Right now I have a Jarrett Wind Walker in .284 Jarrett, so far proving to be a great gun. Not as handy as the shorter, lighter Walk About was, but more range and accuracy.
i have an old remy 600 in 308 for the death marches, but i've been neglecting it for the last few years. i've been on a good string of luck the last few years with my longbow- it weighs ~26oz i think

- Trued 700 action - 22" Rock 1:9 #2 contuour stainless barrel - Bolt work by Kampfeld - McMillan Sako Hunter Stock - Worked over "old school" rem trigger at 2 lbs 5 oz. - Metal Cerakoted in Graphite Black - As pictured it weighs in at 7 lbs - 12 oz.
It spins 120 TTSX's over RL15 into bullet holes at 100 yards.

A friend did the chambering. I did the bedding and coating work. It is right around 8lbs according to my bathroom scale. I need to get a more accurate weight for it though.
I agree with everyone on the T3's but another great option is the Winchester model 70 featherweight. A little more cash than the T3 but definitely worth a look.

I have two. Made these purchases over the phone. Paid roughly $7,000 each. They are absolutely fantastic rifles. They both shoot like a dream but if I had to do it over again and had known more about customs at the time I would have gone with Robert Gradous.
When I finally met Kenny in person it seemed like I was wasting his time when I told him I was getting ready to have him build my 3rd Jarrett. Bad day? I gave him another chance a month later to answer my questions. Same attitude Another bad day? He lost my business and the purchase of one of his professional hunter rifles. $10,400.
Robert's customer service and caring personality speaks volumes to me before making a large dollar rifle purchase.
If i hadnt fallen in love with the Nosler rifle I would probably be building lightweight 7mm08 I like the idea of a 120 TSSX at 3-3100 FPS out of a 22" barrel and short action.
My mountain rifle setup is a Sako A7 in .300 WSM with a Nightforce 2.5-10x32. Bought it last year. Its first kill this past fall I popped a mule deer at around 360 yards at a pretty steep angled shot. I was towards the top of a ridge and he was at the base of an adjoining draw. The A7 has a good trigger pull, is fairly light, and has a really smooth action. Sako guarantees sub-MOA performance out of the box and this rifle doesn't disappoint. Those Fins know how to make an accurate rifle. I couldn't be happier with it and I don't see myself ever getting anything else.
I have been a Sako fan since I was a little kid That is what my dad used when I was growing up and my brother and I were convinced it had magical powers!
I have an old one in 243 that my son is using and have several new ones as well as Tikkas
Im waiting on my model 7 in 308 to get back from the smith. I had him bed the factory stock and free float the barrel. Got a timney trigger for it. Now I just cannot decide on an optic for it. Leaning towards a leupold to save weight and cash...just cant make my mind up.
I have a Cooper Excalibur in 270 that is just great.. Stainless fluted barrel and all around great hunting rifle, check em out, I've had a few and they've all been great.
