If I had to do it over again, I'd still go with the RAR (Compact or Predator) in 6.5CM, but I'd go with the lighter Bell & Carlson stock over the Boyd's laminate that I put on it. The B&C would be a drop (or bolt) in and the Boyd's needed glass bedding. The B&C stock, however, only fits the rotary mag models at this point. Not an issue for me as I don't like a magazine hanging out below the rifle.

I picked up a savage package gun with the 3-9 weaver on it in 6.5 for My GF son for christmas .. We did a hydo dip on the stock and painter the rest in desert tan came out great low budget .. This weekend it will get shot for the first time

If weight is an issue...don't all the tactical and predator models have heavy barrels? Something with a sporter type, thinner barrel may be the way to go. I have both the Savage and Remington SPS tactical rifles and most of the weight is from the fat barrels. Even at a short 20 inches. I'm not sure about the Mossberg and Ruger Predator models.

I meant shy away from light.

If he is younger, I would not shy away from heavy. A heavy rifle means less kick. I have seen many "youth" rifles promote bad shooting because of too much recoil.
Of the rifles you listed, I think all are good except the Mossberg. I have no experience with Mossberg.
