Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Wanted: Flat shooter, light weight

Mornin Mr B:

Talk about opening Pandora's Box !! Asking this ? here.

Around 1981 when Win introduced the XTR FTWT I immediately fell in love with that stock. (still have the '81 Win gun catalog) I ordered the FIRST one in Hammond, La.

Anyway don't remember the yr. but shortly after that Ruger introduced the 77 UL (tanger model). HAD to have one.

Long story/short, I've been on the 'light' rifle kick SINCE 1981. So today we have a catalog (so to speak) of light rifles. IMO you'll probably get as many suggestions as post count responses.

Seriously, Good Luck in your search and with you pick.
I suppose you already know WHICH cartridges you prefer so IMO it boils down to WHICH rifle & HOW MUCH you want to spend.
