Thread: Show me your lightweight rifle

Kimber 308 cut at 17”. And a 7 saum in an early ken henderson stock. And there is the Howa mini as welll…

Husqvarna 1600, 308. Manufactured in 1960, sold out of Tuckers Sports in Ashburton in 1961. Kahles Helia 1.5-6. May have had 4 boxes of ammo through it in all those years. A lightweight rifle from when nobody knew what lightweight rifle was, 3.48kg.

Not mine but dads spare that I use a lot when down south.
BSA Majestic 270 weaver classic scope. Not sure on weight but very light and boots like hell, only notice when zeroing

lovely!

Wby 284 20in bbl, with bolt & Swaro Z3 4-12x50= 6.3lb (2.86kg), with mag DPT suppressor it’s just under 7lb (3.1kg)

14.5" Howa Superlite. Still spits a factory 150sst out at 2720fps. If someone would make a floorplate for them I'd really be in love

hopefully someone will make one eventually, it was a real fail to not have them come out factory with a floorplate IMO superlight factory rile though and represent great value. you could spend a fair whack more and still not have a rifle of the same/similar spec that light.

Kimber hunter with dpt and vx3. Like 2.8 kegs all up. Great little gun, pretty much perfect for me

Been trying to sort an easy carry rifle, cheap, all weather, soft recoil , versatile - bunnies, goats & deer within reason.

Chosen Cal - 223 with a up there twist
Got to say some of the rigs & weights shown in this thread are impressive.
Got me rethinking

Howa 6.5 Grendel with Stocky's stock (495gm), Sonic suppressor on 20" lightweight barrel, Leupold FX-1 4x28. All-up just under 2.8kg.

@Ryan_Songhurst good speed out a short barrel for the 150s. What flavor of factory? Superperformance?
