Hi Stinky,
Last year I purchased a Rem 280 cal. Weatherby Ultralight, naked it weighs 5.3/4 lbs. I've got it topped with a Leupold 3.5 x 10 VX3 B&C scope. It's a great gun, light, tough and can stand to get a little rain or snow on it. I reloaded Barnes 3X 140 Gr. bullets. I'm very happy at the range and I'm sure it'll serve me for years and years. I saved $300 buying my scope on ebay and had it shipped up from the states.
Good luck with your quest to find the perfect rifle.....as for me I've found mine.
MM
