New deer rifle.

[jdb]

I’m thinking about a new deer rifle, I have a .243 and a .270. I’d like to keep it close to 7lbs, I’d really like to keep the barrel no longer than 22”, I have no desire to shoot past 400 yards. I’m a hairy chested American male so oh my god no creedmores..... GO!

This is a very good rifle/round.  I’ve had one of these for a few years, it’s a keeper.

.308 is definitely on my short list.

Tikka T3x Lite .308 22.4" or 20" barrel under 6.5 lbs

The 2 you already shoot would be my choice of a rifle under 7 lbs, 243 being at the top.

.308 is definitely on my short list.

 7mm-08 or .260 Rem would be good fits.
