The bane of the 84L assuredly isn't a lack of mass,but rather a lack of COAL. Mounting systems and Optics tend to matter more than a "smidge" too. Hint.
Very fhuqking few folks actually shoot,let alone Skookum parcels. Hint.............

CA doesn't put "Anti-Hotness" in their rifles...but Droolers typically miss much. Hint.
Bullets matter wayyyyyyyy more than headstamps. Hint..............

Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q90/922/lZ2qKP.png) Do tell how you "arrange" Accuracy/Precision,less bullets. Hint. You Drooling CLUELESS Fhuqktards are a hoot! Hint. Dangle some pics of the Goat Fhuqked Rifles and muse particulars,because it will funnier than fhuqk if you TRY. Perhaps extoll some more about "Anti-Hotness" and how "Pro-Hotness" is realized. Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

Thanks for the replies gents.
I fully realize why light rifles are more difficult to shoot well and yet seem to press forward with a full understanding of what it takes to shoot the tool well. Every rifle is like a golf club, requiring a different technique to make the shot.
I really wasn’t asking that though - I was simply inquiring who makes the lightest hunting rifles today.
I didn’t know that both Howa & Cooper both make sub 5lb rifles. I’ll need to look deeper at allowable dimensions of both to see what might work for me.
I tend to run the numbers on all things before the ‘romance’ sets in. Thread Drift is a real thing, you know…..
What fresh Hell is this?

Reality ain't for everyone,as the Google Gals obliviously quantify ad nauseam. Hint.

If they can be found, the Kimber Montana in 7-08 is a sleeper. Maybe they'll make them again in the future, but damned if that little rifle didn't change my thoughts. I haven't found them particularly hard to shoot, but it does make you pay attention to how you handle the gun. Agreed. Mine has become the one I grab first, for the past 4-5 years.

I have a Kimber Sub Alpine in 308 with a Swarovski Z3 3-10×42 with adjustable turrets mounted on it. Just over 6 lbs. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/b6YJLYW/30650.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/09mYmtj/30649.jpg)

Like others I found the sub 6lb rifles difficult to shoot. I’ve settled on my mtn rifles weighing in ~6 3/4lbs with scope to be the sweet spot for me. I’ve been mostly carrying rifles in that weight range for 35 years now. Anything a pound heavier is like carrying a concrete block…..
A flip flop recoil pad loses 3-4 ozs off the very back end of the rifle and makes a skinny bbl mtn rifle behave like a sporter contour bbl with a conventional recoil pad.
