More money than anything listed at around $1600, but since you mentioned the light weight Savage, I'll suggest something you may not know about, the Barrett Fieldcraft,made by Barrett in Tennessee,the 50 cal guys.

They weigh 5 lbs and I've seen 500 yard groups that you could cover with the palm of your hand.They bought the Forbes stuff when they went out of business.They are basically making a production model of the custom $3500 NULA. All reports have been excellent. Carbon fiber stocks individually bedded with pillars.

When I get my gun fund built back up I'll be getting an 18.5" barrel model with a suppressor.


If not spending that kind of money,my vote is for a Tikka.
