It’s interesting to read through the posts here and see what everyone is running for a Lightweight rig .
I went down the Lightweight road a while back and now find for my application’s I actually prefer a slightly heavier Rifle.
To accurately shoot a Lightweight Rifle takes soon doing , the increased recoil and losing sight of the target as the shot is triggered became a problem for me .
I do have to say that I’m not climbing huge mountains and carrying everything on my back for days , so I happily accept a Rifle that weighs a bit more for the benefits of better shoot ability.
My Tikka 6.5x55 in a Hi-Tec stock is the lightest I can comfortably put up with and even then I often think about how it might be better with another 500g -1000g of extra weight.
