I am going to pick up one of the 7-08 Stevens 200's on sale at academy and want to immeditaely restock it. This will primarily be a hunting set-up with some needed practice time at the range. While most of my hunting will be in blinds, I would like to do some spot-n-stalk hunting. Does anyone use the Medalist for a hunting rifle? How is the weight factor?

Oh, and I guess I am primarily interested in the A2 though may be talked into the sporter model.

Thanks.
