I would have a total melt down and kick my dog a couple times(He likes it) if I even owned a rifle with a chambering that dropped that much between 200 & 300 yards!🤕All that aside, well done.😉
Buy a tikka superlite and then take all the extra money it would cost you for the rifles you listed and put a brake(if you want),rail/top end rings & the best glass you can buy on top of it. They are under 6 lbs. and shoot lights out. Stock upgrades are available if you don't like the factory one as well.
[quote Also look at the cooper backcountry if your going to throw down that much money. They look sweet
Does anyone have a 700AWR? Interesting they don't list a weight.https://www.remington.com/rifles/bolt-action/model-700/model-700-american-wilderness-rifle

It is getting lonely in the safe! I know those Tikka's shoot, just never been a fan personally.

why buy a super ultralight "backcountry" rifle then put a razor on it?[/quoteThe razor lh model is a 1 inch tube lightweight model not the boat anchor razor your thinking of.

Yes, its the Razor HD LH (light hunter). They are pretty impressive scopes.
I'm curious how recoil will play a role in overall weight. What's too light for a 300 mag?
Anybody looked into the Q ? I want one

Hey JJ, with you and Yorke as motivation, I decided to man up and ordered all the components for my backcountry lightweight 300WSM. I should end up right around 6.5lbs with optics. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction brother. Looking forward to hearing how your Mesa turns out!

Looking forward to hearing how your Mesa turns out!I have one of Ryan Pierce's Round Mini Mag 3 Port Muscle Brakes. He can spot shots with it mounted on his ~10lbs hotrodded 28 Nosler. I should be alright with that brake, even with it being a lightweight.What brake you pick ? I'm thinking thats a pretty good combo - especially after watching my buddy drop a 330 bull at 680 yards one shot with his last fall.
