I think the 700 ti's are great. I have one in 300 saum and love it. Although not nearly as light as the same rifle in 30-06 or 7mm-08, its still lighter than any other gun I own by a long shot.( keep in mind it sill has the full 24'' barrel and a fairly stout one at that) My gun is a hair over 7 lbs but my great big scope doesn't help in that department( 6-9X18 Leupold ) As far as accuarcy goes, I haven't owned it long enough to play around with it yet but so far I am happy. Cow elk @ 200, White tail buck and doe both at 50 or less, Mule deer @ 150 . I did miss a couple of times this year as well but I'm sure it had nothing to do with the gun! I think these guns are a great coice if you like remmies but there are alot of other rlfles that are showing up around the six pound mark, short mags included. Its comes down to what you'd prefer. Thats my 2 cents.
