I guess a few ounces don't matter. I've always wanted an actual light gun. All my stuff weighs 9-10# hunting weight. For its intended purpose as a walk around gun, and future child's gun, I'd like it to hunt in the low 6's. The further south of 7# the better.
All great advice. I appreciate it.
Seven pounds compared to 9+ pounds is a big deal.
But 8 oz does not matter even if you are fat and out-of-shape or the complete opposite.
Ask yourself, do you want a factory rifle that shoots tiny group (less money) or a rifle that you can brag to your friends about and also shoots tiny groups (more money)?
There are many options today but discover what is most important to you.
P.S. Take money out of the equation and the 'cool' factor.
