For me, "sub 6lb rifles" are what you carry - scoped, sling, and rounds.
Only a few on this thread make that threshold...
That's because there really ain't that many around that make that mark.....................just sayin'.
Especially with 20" or longer barrels.

Yeah..l I know.
But the point is, a rifle’s weight should be what you carry on your shoulder or in your hand on the mountain, not what it weigh’s bare in your kitchen.
"...a rifle's weight should be..." Who the [bleep] died and left you the boss?
I'd much rather know what the actual "ultralight -rifle-" weighs, bare. Far too many variables and choices come in to play when we get to setting up a rifle further for personal use. As for the lightweight -rifle- itself, a rifle set-up that makes 6 pounds with a 16 oz scope, 4 oz rings rings, etc., etc. is more interesting than 5 pound 15 oz rifle set-up with a 2 oz red dot. Just tell me how much the rifle weighs, I'm going to set it up differently than the next guy anyway...
