Phil Shoemaker built a very light weight M-70 9.3x62 with iron sights. As you know, Phil is a noted guide and big bear hunter in AK. His idea, he carries it a lot more than he shoots it.

This Husky is a similar concept and would be good for that application. Adding a scope will up the weight somewhat. I agree with Mark about the drop at the comb. That bothers some a lot more than it does me, but I have a long neck.

Nice gun. Hard to beat a Husky for slick action.
