Swung by a local store and they had a Howa carbon fiber in 7-08 in their sale rack. It was fairly light and they had $525 on her, so I paid the man. I finger fucked a Howa mini in 7.62x39 and loved how it handled. I want one in 6 ARC. Or maybe 6x45? Thoughts about the mags? Does their BDL-style have more wiggle room than the detachable models?
I also played with a Christensen bolt action .22 Ranger. It used a 10/22 mag, had a Trigger Tech trigger, a synthetic stock, and a carbon fiber wrapped barrel that was threaded. I guessed the damn thing was 4.5 pounds, but their website says 5.1. I don't know how they shoot but it sure was easy to tote.
