thank you for for feedback! My older brother is a big Ruger American fan boy and that’s what he keeps telling me to get.
Yes, I'd say the Mossberg is a pretty good contender for the lightweight rifle category. I like mine although it's in a varmint caliber. Perhaps also the Ruger American would suit your needs at 6.2 lbs. in the right cartridge?
I have to say I've never been a big fan of the belted magnums. (Especially in lightweight rifles) I don't practice to hunt past 300 yards, and even with a scoped rifle the farthest shot I've had on deer has been under 200 yards. (I personally would opt, for example, for a .358 Winchester over a .338 WinMag.) So for my recommendation it would be the .30-06 Winchester. I also like .35 Whelen, and if I had my heart set on something in 7mm it would be a 7mm-08 over a 7mm Remington Magnum.

What’s the furthest distance you would attempt a shot?
