    Lighter rifle

    Is a Bergara lighter than a Brno Fox?

    223.
    She saw a Bergara and thought it looked lighter than the Fox

    the single shots are heavy truck axle barrels

    Kimber would do the trick

    Bought my Bergara without reading the fine print (weight), then added tip off mounts (made from some lead based material I suspect!) then a scope and almost dislocated my shoulder picking it up!

    Yeah, truck axles converted to barrels. But nice and handy, and accurate. Just didn't win the tifecta of lightweight, handy and accurate
