    And a light weight rifle to get things back on track.
    Cooper M92. 24 inch Non abbreviated barrel. Light weight earplugs instead of a suppressor . A touch under 7lbs.

    Wow that’s an expensive scope to put on a Baikal single shot .

    Not Superlight but it's about right in 6.5 Creedmoor and a Z5

    pretty sure the potential weakness in the early A7 stocks was in the forend, particularly when loading up the swivel stud on a bipod.

    What hasn't been defined in this thread is what actually is lightweight? There is a hell of a range here.

    Maybe anything under 8lb (3.6 kg) with scope and suppressor is "lightweight"?

    I could go along with under 3.6 being considered lightweight
    Maybe sub 3kg should be considered ultralight.

    My lightweight, 5lbs two oz scoped, highly modified kimber, in .260, manners ultra light stock, someones, custom build they couldn’t pay for.
    feels like a toy, too light really, bit difficult to shoot consistently, great to carry, but i am awaiting the day, i fall and break the stock, its pretty light threw the wrist. Been looking for a spare stock, already had a sling stud strip and repaired.
    Spend quite a bit of time on load development, and everything ive shot, could have been stabbed with the barrel.
    I've got a barrett, fieldcraft 6.5 and K95 that are much better weight balance,
