I'm wanting to buy/modify/build an ultralight 7-08 with a threaded 18" barrel. I'll be hanging a thunderbeast ultra 7 can on it. I'd really like a kimber Adirondack, but they're too rare and expensive. Kicking around buying a savage lightweight storm, chopping 2", and putting a MPI stock on it. I've heard howa is going to chamber their ultralight in 7-08, but I kinda want stainless. Any suggestions? Thanks.
 
What did you end up doing? Sorry to resurrect an old thread

Like this? 20” 7mm-08, with the scope weighs under 10lbs. fully rigged.

I have a standard weight 110 Storm in .223 that`s been excellent in function and accuracy out to 200 yards. Plan to try it at longer distances JMO based on experience, but I wouldn`t hesitate to buy an Ultralite Storm.
