RE: New highpowered rifle--lightweight...choices?
I would go with browning in 7mm08 for these reasons-browning has 60 degree bolt throw,3 locking lugs,tang safety,concealed detachable magazine,magazine spring is X shape instead of W spring(more reliable),comes factory glass bedded and free floated barral,extremely smooth bolt travel,target crown,wood stock has tough epoxy finish,7mm08 is a LOT more versaitle with very little added recoil over .243.
