A lightweight rifle like that in 30-06 is a thing of beauty right up until the moment you pull the trigger.

Depends on what the price is.
For the money, I'd check out the Browning X-bolt. I picked up a Medallion maple (I like wood stocks) a couple years back. Free-floated barrel. Glass-bedded action. Excellent craftsmanship. Weighs only 6.5 pounds. About $1,000.

White 17, what is it that you don't like about the new Winchesters? In other words, what has changed for the worst? Just my opinion but the newer guns seem "chintzy". The metal seems more 'plastic' than the older guns. I also agree with others that recoil in a gun that light is going to be felt more than in a heavier gun.

recoil in a gun that light is going to be felt more than in a heavier gun. Without a doubt!
