    Lightweight Hunting Rifles

    G'Day Fella's,

    I have been designing and building these types of rifles, for more decades than I care to remember.
    What do you blokes have that is Lightweight but isn't as it came from the factory?
    Here is an image of a few of these types, that I still have (see actual weights taped on each rifle).

    From L to R is;
    A Yard Stick (36" Long), for comparison
    Rem M-763 .350Rem Mag, Aimpoint Comp-C3.
    Rem M-600 .308 Win, Leupold 2.5 -8.
    Win M-70 Classic, 7mm Rem Mag, 3-9 Swarovski (Not that light! This rifle has an aluminum floor plate, that I machined up and fitted).
    Jongmans .284 Win, 2-7 Leopold.
    Kimber M84 Montana. .223 Rem. (This is a customers New rifle, that I threw in for comparison).

    What examples, have you blokes got to show?

    Doh!
