Thread: Wanting a lighter rifle

I changed from a med barrel sako 75 to a kimber montana 84m and the difference is pretty staggering, kimbers feel like .22lr rifles
its a lot cheaper to eat less and loose 25kg like i did tho
you can probably get your carry weight of your pack/accessory's/boots down alot more and cheaper than messing with your rifle it just feels important because its in your hands

This. Unless you have already done it. I'm weighing everything going into my pack now: knife, tent pegs, 'hunting jacket' to an outer shell and down vest etc. Can't recall the details but I've saved more than the weight added going from the factory t3 stock to a laminated one
