You're probably right. I thought this new Hunter model had a heavier barrel profile ? Doesn't it weight around a pound more (6 1/2 lbs) ? Can't be just the stock adding a pound to that rifle no ? I like the detachable mag feature too on the Hunter. If you could pick up this Hunter for a street price of around $700, add a sub - 16oz custom stock and have a DM feature, you'd have a real nice set-up.
