I have an "extra" 700 SA that I'm thinking of building into a lighter weight winter predator rifle. I do a lot of long range shooting and I hand load, but I don't really have a good lightweight long range hunting rifle. It will be used for predators and long range shooting only unless I decide I like it enough to pack it around during deer/elk season. I'm not into long range hunting other than for predators.
I'm thinking -
.260 Remington, Proof barrel, SWFA scope, Triggertech trigger...
I'm not trying to go ultra light, just tired of having nothing between my 7 Mag elk / deer hunting rifle and my long range rifles with bull barrels and Nightforce scopes. I put on a lot of miles in the winter in deep snow and I'm just getting worn out packing heavy rifles and a pack. Any advice?
