    It's not as annoying as where they put the magazine release!

    It's actually been chopped down to hold 3 rounds. And yes even with that it still looks clumsy.
    A lightweight bolt action 7.62x39 with a hinged floor plate would be ideal, but I don't think there is such a rifle.
    CZ527 and Ruger Ranch suffer the same issue. Zastava is starting to get heavy. Not sure if there is anything else.

    Didn't get as many bites as I thought it would... wedged some puzzle pieces under the barrel to make it slightly lighter than @Gibo

    Interesting, we all see things differently. I cut the mag down on my Howa mini but still didn't like it. Zastava Mini Mauser for me!. Mine is 3.2Kgs scoped and suppressed, which is a pretty modest weight for a wood blued rifle.

    A friend has a Bergara single shot take down in 45/70 that's been chopped to 765mm.

    Works really well. Has a nice leupold with a pig plex reticle.

    3.2kg scoped and suppressed is really light. Did you chop the barrel down?
    From memory Guncity's website shows Zastavas are in the order of 3.1kg bare rifle? Maybe that was for a different caliber.

    Mine is a 223, and the barrel is shortened slightly. Wood stocked rifles always vary a bit I guess.
