As mentioned above I'd go with the Tikka T3 Lite, great guns....light, guaranteed to shoot 1", tons of caliber options in left handed.

Just picked one up myself in.270wsm

Thanks for the heads up!

Cabelas has the Vortex Nomad spotter on sale right now for $199, it's a great deal and should be more than adequate

So a non-res can put in for the draw and "for sure" get a tag, first try?

That's the exact model I was looking at!

Picked up a Vortax Nomad (angled) today, got a great deal on it I might add! $199 at Cabelas.

I need to get a decent tripod for it. I can't really justify a $350+ tripod, does anybody have any...

Talley says their mounts are 2.2oz.

Seems like they come pretty highly recommended too, looks like that's what I'll go with!

LintonOutdoors.com sells them too....great guy....Eastmans supporter....

I emailed both places. DNZ said their 1 piece, medium height mount is about 3oz. Waiting to hear back from Talley

Looked at Talley and DNZ today at Sportsmans, both claim to be "lightweight" but neither actually lists the weight. Looks like I'll have to shoot off a few emails.

Just picked up a Tikka T3 Lite in .270 WSM. Looking for some recommendations for good lightweight scope mounts for my Leupold.

Thanks guys!
