Default Light Weight Rifle

I was thinking about putting together very light weight rifle package for general hunting. What do you guys think about this?

Remington Model 700 Titanium
7mm-08 Remington

Nikon Titanium Scope
3.3-10x44mm AO

Near Precision Scope Base (One Piece)
Luepold 30mm Rings

Browning Eclipse Padded Sling
Black Nylon w/ Thumb Loop

Stoney Point Steady Stix II
Black Aluminum, 39" Fully Extended

The entire package scoped and loaded should weigh less than 7 1/2 pounds. Thats less than one gallon of water, and it should be easy to carry almost anywhere. I also thought that the 7mm bullet would be very versatile as far as hand loading goes. Can you guys think of anything that would be lighter? or better?

Thanks
