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.
Those really light rifles are really tough to shoot in the field. It's entirely possible to overdo the lightweight deal.
I agree prairy goat! I've settled on a preference of 6 1/2-7 1/2 lbs or so much over 5 lbs. I do really like the super lite tikka and the only difference is the fluted barrel and price.
A fella could always get a tikka lite and have the barrel fluted and you'd be right there.
