The first thing you will notice is that for a 20' barreled carbine, they are touch heavy. And big round the action. If you put a scope on it the rifle would be 9 lbs. But if you like old Sakos you won't notice.
This one also has a plastic floorplate. (Probably weight savings.) You can replace it with a metal one from CZUSA. I don't believe they make them with a plastic one anymore, although I could be wrong, that might only be for the American market.

Yes they do look a little chunky. I did think that I might thin it out a bit, but maybe I will start from scratch with a barrelled action. They are great for climbing when it gets steep though, so much better than holding a barrel as a walking stick!
