There appears to be some general confusion about this. The MK V I started this thread originally about is between 8 and 30 ounces lighter than the Vanguard series, depending on model. This is another reason I am considering it as a well rounded, lightweight mountain rifle... which, evidently, is one step below Mossberg creating a tactical lever action in terms of firearms heresy
