Thread: Wanting a lighter rifle

I've handled a few 75's in long actions and imo they are heavy. Ie 7RM, I'd say the 3006 is of similar weight.
A secondhand short action 75 or 85 is imo a different kettle of fish.
A Tikka, Forbes or an 85 in 260 or 308 especially taking to 18 inches would make a set up worth having. Saying all that as 300m is not a hell of a long shot. In short I'd say that keeping that rifle you're always up against extra weight and length (don't cut it) but if it were me and I can't afford a second stock ie stug I'd buy a Tikka (shitter) and cut it to 17" and can it. Be cheaper and I'd rather see that butchered over a sako.
