Its true that wood stock rifles need not weigh a ton and some are amazingly svelte and light. Ive got two full stocked bolt actions, one a Steyr Mannlicher and the other is a full stocked Brno 22 small ring mauser. These handle like a wand but these dainty rifles arent all that common to begin with and it seems that its a European thing in that they got the weight and proportions correct in reguards to bolt rifles. To make one of those Brno 21 or 22 model rifles today would require immense amounts of money as no large factory has that level of wood workers and craftsmen on staff. Everyone today is an CNC programmer operator.
But yeah, theres some amazing wood guns from Europe
