Hi guys,gals, and Merry Christmas. A friend of mine was asking me what would bea good light weight rifle to hunt whitetail in WVA. He prefers .308 cal., and has to climb a big mountain to get to his hunting area. Any suggestions?
Ruger M77 Ultra Lite, Remington Model 7, or a Ruger 1A in 7X57mm or .30/'06..... Any of these three could wind up with a lightweight scope at no more than 6.5 pounds. A very fine option, but more expensive, would be a New UltraLight Arms Co. rifle. Before you put a scope on one, it weighs about 4.5 pounds............
