I have an 18 inch barrel on one of them. Everything else is probably making it heavy. It is probably just me and the fact that I like classic guns. A 9 pound bolt action is not heavy to me but a nine pound AR is. Scott, I am just the opposite. I like the location of the Mini 14 Mag release and really like the location of the safety. The pistol grip on the AR and I don't get along. We just tolerate each other.
