Hey yall
Long time lurker here looking to dial in a two gun quiver in the years to come. Looking for feedback on a three year plan for a ultralight sheep/mule deer rifle and an all around elk/goat rifle that looks something like this.
Ultralight Mountain Rifle:
Tikka T3-X superlite
6.5 Creedmoor
Talley Lightweight Rings
Nightforce NXS 2.5-10
All Around:
Tikka T3-X Lite
7MM Rem Mag
SWFA 3x15
I currently shoot a Savage 300WM that has killed everything I've pointed it at, but it's heavy as heck and not my favorite thing to shoot for a lot of reasons. I am not super interested in other cartridges, and am well aware of the trade off of weight to accuracy and shootability- I like to shave weight everywhere but optics.
What would be your ideal finished weight for those two calibers?
What equivalent budget/quality rifles would you recommend to bring the weight down on the Creedmoor?
Thanks!
