A good, lightweight rifle.
Hi guys,gals, and Merry Christmas. A friend of mine was asking me what would bea good light weight rifle to hunt whitetail in WVA. He prefers .308 cal., and has to climb a big mountain to get to his hunting area. Any suggestions?

Ruger compacts are very nice (that's what my wife uses in .308). Another option is a Kimber Montana or even a Kimber Classic. The Montana being the lighter of the two.

I would buy a 7mm08 mountain rifle in a remington 700. its a 308 casing with a 7mm bullet. is shoots great. Super light amd reliable. Great walking gun with plenty of power to kill whitetails. Overall it is a great gun.
