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.

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.

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.

its easy to change cz527 to 3 shot flush mag. have done it to mine can try post a picture if interested

Nice, what do you think of it?, what projectiles are you using?

Mate if you could post a picture of that and how you did it that would be awesome as I’m thinking of doing something similar
