[ryandomingos27]

I forgot to add this to my last post but I figured it’s probsbly better for its own post anyways. Looking for a new deer gun. Who makes the best lightweight semi custom gun? 3k budget. Thx

I’ve been looking at the carbon rival a lot. Seems like a knock off gunwerks for a lot cheaper!

If my memory is accurate The gunwerks is built on a 700 clone and fierce are but on a sako clone action

That is correct but based on the stock they look very similar. I don’t think you can go wrong with a 70° bolt throw and an extra bullet in the mag!

Used Nula or reworked Colt Light Rifle/Forbes.

How long you shooting? Kimber Adirondack is still my favorite shorter range rifle.

Kimber Adirondack .308

Found myself in a position where I needed something more lightweight this year as I'll be in a position where I will carry in bow and rifle. I already have a Mountain Rambler, but picked this up to carry with me. Topped with a Z3 3-10x42, need to hit the range next weekend to get it sighted...

NULA's are great, used ones are hard to find, but a new one is only about $3500. Melvin is great to work with... just be prepared for a possible long wait.

Look at Christiansen Arms.

They're $4,200 now

Ouch... been a while since they've raised prices. Can't say I'm surprised though

I am a Kimber whore so gets my vote! It is tricky shooting a lightweight consistent but a joy to carry!

Here is a great new option that bergara just finished up.

NEW: Bergara MGLite 6.5 Creedmoor with CURE Carbon Barrel – Ultimate Reloader

Proof elevation or seekins element are good options worth looking at.

On a budget I'd say the Tikka SuperLite would be a good choice. I just bought one in 300WSM and it's just a little over 6lbs and that's with a 24in pipe. I'm going to have it shortened up to around 21-22 inches so it'll probably be right at 6lbs maybe even a little under when I'm done.

Tikka T3 with an aftermarket stock is a pretty bomproof set up and leaves extra for optic. Next choice would be one of the bergara premier series or a seekins.

How about a 4K budget for 300 wby long range and lightweight

 

[eaglemountainman]

I was going to suggest ordering a Nula and then pick up a used Montana while you wait. That was until I just saw Melvin's price increase to $4,200.

Now I appreciate my Montanas even more.

I'm a big fan of my Weatherby Backcountry...

If you get a good one, the Kimber Mountain Ascent has no competition. An honest sub 5# gun in short action. Love my .308
