Same here, Kimber any day

The action on the Forbes I had was downright horrible

Rit loves his Ruger American Frazer. They are pretty damn light about 5.5lb shoot pretty well and are cheap as. I set one up for the old man too in 233 cut to 14” with a can and red dot. Shot a few Roos and pigs with it. I’ve shot a 308 adrianik without a suppressor, nice wee rifle but you’ve got to hang onto them reasonably tight.

Hate those stocks though.

Did you stabilize them with epoxy @Cowboy06?

Another option is a Howa with a carbon stock.

No just as they are. Don’t use a bipod everything standing or kneeling. At pistol range on Sunday, nick had a mint 303 never seen one with such a nice bore. He was smaking everything with it with the open sights standing. He shoots pretty good though that boy.

perfect practice makes perfect!

6.2lb according to Ruger website, about the same as a T3 lite.

Savage lightweight hunter keeps tempting me, 5.5lb with wood stock which I prefer to the plastic fantastics.

Have a look at the Howa Alpine Mountain Rifle, 5.7lbs, fully cerakoted and comes with a choice composite Legendary Arms Stock.

Good price for what you get too.

Very happy with mine, chopped to 16” and fitted a DPT overbarrel, carry it all day like it’s not there.

Shoots under an inch with factory ammo, sure it would tighten up even further once I start hand loading for it.

I've talked to people with them who have been bloody amazed with their accuracy. Bloody cheap, bloody ugly, but bloody accurate.

I think gunwork can do a good fluting job on their bolts for the ones looking to take down the weight even further.
