Ok, so after some research, I think I want the old style claw extractor.
The SS looks like the ticket because when you are hiking a ridge at 8k ft elevation going up and down several hundred feet for several miles, every pound counts.
I still want the 30 06 though just because It is a nice tweener between my .308's and .300 win mag

at about 7.75 lbs loaded.... scope and rings will probably add about what....2.5 lbs? 3. So we are thinking 11 lbs?

I'll probably top it with one of my two Swarovski z3's...i have a 4x12x50 and a 2.5x10x44
