    Light weight rifle options

    Hey team,

    So i’m looking at getting a new rifle and am just looking for suggestions on what you guys/ gals think is good value for money. I’m wanting to go for something on the lighter side as I like to keep weight down. Will be chambered in 7mm08.
    Looking for any suggestions or pros and cons of various models.

    Cheers in advance,
    7RMBoy
