They are too light for some uses. But perhaps the Open Country meets some of those needs?
I picked up an Open Country in 6.5CM for use when stand-hunting.
The rifle is really amazing when you handle it.
It has a deep fluted bull barrel (basically) that measures .860 at the muzzle, and the rifle weighs under 7 pounds naked.
With a light-ish scope in Talleys, it wouldn't be too heavy for hunting on the move.
