I want it
Fuk me there must be some mussel men on here, when I think of LW alrounders, 3 kg is well n truly the limit
Had plenty of grouse light weight guns over the years, but here's my latest, grouse little rifle
I was running mine with a real lw scope but now running something ( what may look a bit over sized but far more useful for what I want, still under six pound at 2.69kg with the 18x Z5i ) 20" 6.5CM
GO HOWA
Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!
Great thread!

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.
FALL IN LOVE WITH THE NUMBERS , NOT THE IDEA
Some nice looking rigs. Not too much bling.
Out of interest I weighed mine and was shocked. 3.4kg. I thought it was lighter than that. I guess a vx6 and extra baffles all adds up. If anyone wants to sell their kimber hunter let me know. Can find them anywhere anymore
My light rifle for bush hunting purchased 1977 has 850 kills here and Australia. Empty 2.62 kg, 44 mag.
Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.
