I think I’m going to get the Tikka T3x super lite Cabela special edition stainless steel in 30-06 and throw a limb saver on it. And top it with either the Leupold Vx3i (to save money) or the Zeiss conquest V4.
A question I would have about the scope is that this Leopold does not offer the dialling like the Zeiss scope does. Is dialling and more clarity worth an extra $1000?

The only thing positive about a “light” gun is just that- it’s light. I would buy a regularly weighted T3 and keep better accuracy. My friend had a T3 lite (I believe 7mm) and that rifle was very inconsistent.
I’m sure I’ll be refuted by someone one here, but in general terms I believe myself to be correct. If it’s your all around rifle, stick with regular weight.
