Interesting, yet uncommon choice......One of my two lightweight rigs is a Colt light rifle in .30-06. It's plenty accurate, very light and has killed many a critter. Well worth the $400 new in box price I paid many years ago.
My current lightweight is a very customized/skeletonized (receiver shaved down, bolt handle drilled out, no floorplate, lightweight pencil barrel, skinny mcmillan stock) 700 in .338winmag with a 2.5-8 Zeiss scope. Total weight is a smidge over 6lbs. NOT FUN TO ZERO - fortunately it's always held it's zero, despite what the last batch of horses tried doing to her. So a couple rounds a year to confirm all is well - the rest go into meat.
