    lightweight sambar rifle

    I'm planning on getting a sambar rifle / international rifle after the trouble with the Bavarian in NZ, something synthetic and light would be ideal. my initial thought were a toss up between 7mm REM mag and 300wsm. But the 300wsm seems to clip it ballistically as well as using less powder (I use adi 2209) and obviously going up heavier weights although I reckon I'd just run 150tsx through it.
    Thinking of a sako a7 with swaro z5 as I know I can get the z5 pretty cheap.
    almost was tempted to get a t3 and spend the difference on putting a new trigger in. not sure if I can get a set trigger system for it though? I've dealt in both though and prefer the a7. Already bought the limbsaver recoil pad so I'm half way there ha
