To get any lighter than the Tikka will get expensive. A Tianium action will get you to the 5 lb. range. I have seen a few Forbes rifles go for a reasonable price so always a chnce for one to come up for sale. I like mine a lot and just never warmed up to the Tikka because of plastic parts and stock design.


"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
