Getting the itch for a new rifle. I’ve been looking at the ultra lite 110. Anyone have one? If so, how Ya like it? Primary use would be deer in WV mountains. Secondary it would be for a western hunt as a rifle for longer hikes. The group I hunt with in WV are planning another trip to Idaho for 2025. I have a 300 win mag that would be the primary rifle if we are watching clear cuts with decent access. The 300 weighs in near 10 pounds, dont want to lug it for any long distances. If I go with the 110, I’m up in the air on caliber. Either a 30-06 or 280AI.
The more I research the 280 Ackley Improved, the more I like it’s versatility. The big drawback is availability of ammo.
I’m thinking on that rifle, either caliber, I’d probably go with a vx-3 Leupold in the 4.5-14x40 as it is under 14 ounces to keep the ultralite, well actually lightweight.
