RE: .243 Win. in Weatherby vs. HS Precision
Have you considered a New Ultra Light Arms rifle in .243 Win.? I have buddy who has one in .244 Remington, man that is a shooter and loves plain old Remington 100gr Core-Loks. I haven't weighed it, but I bet it doesn't over 6 pounds even with scope, rings, and mounts. For as light as it is, it is surprisingly pleasant to shoot.
