I have more 12-15lb bolts than I need, so I'm looking for a nice light bolt rifle for some varmint hunting. I want something sub 6.5lbs without optics and is good quality w/o going over $800 ($650 really but I know how it goes.. start at $650 and boom.. your at $1000). I prefer a wood stock over synthetic even though the syntectic is better in the weather.. or laminate works too. I'm thinking either .223 or .308 as I already reload for those.. but caliber isn't a big concern at this point. Just trying to get in the right ballpark first.
I just started research but here are a few I've seen come up quite a bit. Other options/suggestions are welcome.
Browning A-Bolt / X-Bolt
Tikka T3 Hunter
Savage 11
Thanks,
Hawk
