Light Weight Gun

[mustang8]

I didn't want to steal Ikeepitcold's thread but just out of curiosity what is considered to be a light weight rifle setup? I see his came in at just under 8 pounds, what are some of your guns weighing in at in comparison? Luke

I think my rig comes in at 9.5lb and it is considerably lighter than what I used to carry so I love it.

I think 8-10lbs is pretty light. I have up to 14lbs on a custom long range gun but I’m not packing that thing around.

My Savage Light Weight Hunter and Sig Scope are under 8lbs.

I have what 280AI has. Even with ammo, you cant get these to 8 lbs. It is like carrying your first BB gun.

I have a Remington 700 Ti that weighs 6 pounds 6 ounces scoped. Personally, I don?t think I will ever look for a rifle lighter than that. I have a Tikka T3x SL that weighs just under 7 pounds, scoped. I shoot it better than the Remington from field positions and it is still nice to carry all day long.

lightest rifle weighs in at 7lbs, and that's too light I think!

7.5-8lbs is probably a nice lightweight total weight I think.

My new Vanguard First-Lite come in at exactly 9lbs with a 26” barrel, muzzle brake, 3-15x44 VX-5hd, alumina scope caps and a claw sling....guess its not lightweight haha.

Those Claw slings are the cats ass if you ask me, I have one on almost every gun I own.

sneakypete, Nice rifle! I tried PMing you about the build but your inbox was full. What are the specs/components? I think that weight would be about perfect for carrying without sacrificing shootability but I am having a difficult time, on paper, figuring out how to hit it using the action from a left hand Remington 700 LSS I picked up. Thanks.

Looks like that Clymr but with a proof barrel. I too am curious.

Cooper M92 in .300 Win Mag w/ Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44 -- 6.8 lbs.

It shoots 1/2 MOA with hand-loaded 180gr Accubond's. The muzzle brake is fantastic, my wife shoots it with ease.

I always wanted a lightweight hunting rifle in a true magnum caliber that shot super accurate with hunting bullets and had a full-size top-shelf scope on it. I think I finally found what I was looking for. I don't know why I'll ever need another rifle

Wow, great setup!
