How about an M1A? Lighter than a Garand (ok, not by much). More easily scoped than a Garand.

Personally, for hunting I prefer a bolt-action rifle. Much lighter. I've got Garands and an M1A. I would not be interested in lugging them over hill and dale (along with my backpack).

But whatever floats your boat...
