Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats At what point is a rifle too light?

I have had three or four 6.5 pound 270's. They were well put together. With good ammo they shot as well as 7-8 pound rifles. Light rifles must have very good triggers. At the bench, the front contact point must be kept consistent. I hunt with my rifle in my hands and after awhile it really helps to have the 6.5 pound outfit.
