Redneck7mm; I believe Kimber is coming out with a lightweight rifle in 270 WSM pretty quickly, or maybe it's already out; supposed to weigh around 6#.

I don't own a Kimber (yet), but they're supposed to be nice
good luck,
Craig

My thoughts are this-get yourself a Tikka T3 in a 7 Rem and be done with it. With a scope/rings it will weigh about 7 pounds 4 ounces. It is to me the best rifle bar none on the market right now. I have sold about 30 of them and just get people coming back to me and gloating and bragging about the rifle. I have never heard so many good things about a rifle. All that buy one are tickled with it!

The money is right (out here $479 for a magnum with the rings), and the weight is right. And the accuracy is well, IMO aside from a Savage there is not a gun that will consistently day in and day out and every rifle taken out of the box shoot with one. The only other true out of the box accuracy player out there IMO is the old 788.

The T3 does come in WSM,but I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone wold get one when the old standard rounds are available at the same weight of rifle!

Just my thoughts.....
