Lightweight setup?

[Tez300]

G,day guys.

Looking at a new lightweight setup(308W) for the scrub.

A while back I bought an older Sako L579 for this very reason.
But on doing research on what's available it seems my choices are limited on a ultralight weight stock(McMillan Edge,which I can get here in Oz,but not that model).
This is what I had planned=McMillan Edge stock,S/Steel Shilen 20" fluted barrel,Reblue all other parts,Sako Optilocks with a Leupold VX11 2-7 x33(wide reticle) sitting on top.

Have any of you boys had this trouble with stock fit?If so what do you suggest?

Okay the other options are a new rifle,which is always a great option.

Sako Finnlight verses Kimber Montana?
Of course with a VX11 2-7x33 or maybe even a VX111 2.5-8x36.But I do like the view better on the 2-7.

The other outsider that I have been considering for years now is the Blaser.
Just dont know about this straight pullback system.
I do like the idea of the bolt handle as a extra backup safety lug on my other rifles but I also luv how quick I can follow up with the Blaser(Like a Pump or lever).And being pretty conservative by nature I am wary of innovation for it's own sake.

What are your thoughts on this spaceage rifle?

Cheers,
Tez

I think you have listed some good options. I think the McMillan is a great choice, but from what I have seen and heard, no "drop-in" stock is a perfect fit. They all seem to need some gun smithing to get the fit wanted.

Those Blasers are some VERY NICE looking rifles. I think if the shoot as good as they look, you cant go wrong.

I own a Kimber Montana in a .280 caliber. One darn fine rifle. It's light, shoots excellent out of the box and I have never had a minutes trouble out of it. I had a gunsmith do a trigger job on it and a little work on the stock to fit me.
