Rmr
I have the Alpine extreme 308 win. it weighs 4lbs. 11oz.It is a real tiny rifle, but a joy to pack.It shoots very well for a small light rifle, the fit and finish is very nice.I will try to post pics in a day or two, my laptop blew up, and I had to get a new one, so have not swapped everything over.

Rmr
RMR Iended up buying this used, but do not regret it,I have never used the brakes that came with the rifle, as I hate brakes , and I don't find the recoil to be a problem.I have had a couple Kimber 84m Montana rifles that were very light, but this is noticably lighter.

A stock Cooper is not the equal of a properly built custom, but then again, at less than $2000 for the Cooper, the price isn't comparable either.
For those people who would like a stainless Cooper action,or a magnum Cooper action,both will be available very soon.

Great! Thanks for all the responses guys. Those are some pretty amazing groups you guys are getting. I think I am leaning towards the Thinhorn (Defiance) chambered in 280 AI. T.J. and Rich, what barrel length did you end up going with?
