Thread: What's considered "lightweight "

Likewise with time on my hands the other day I chucked a few favorites over the scales - all with slings but no suppressors/bipods etc:

Zastava 223 with Sightron 4-16 - 3440gm (7.6 lbs)
Brno Model 21 8x57 with Weaver SS 2.5-10 - 3940gm (8.7 lbs)
Mauser K 6.5x47 with 2.3-7 Kahles - 3380gm (7.5 lbs)
Lithgow LA102 308 with Athlon 4.5-27 - 4070gm (8.9 lbs) - surprising given this a cross-over type with a reasonably big scope
Savage/Stevens 200 in 223 with 2.5-10 Minox 3340gm (7.4 lbs)
Rem Model 7 in 260 with Boyds laminated stock and VX3 2.5-10 3285gm (7.25 lbs) - this stock needs taken to with a bloody big rasp, might get close to 3000gms with such treatment

I recently collated information posted by forumites on pack contents and weights - mostly from threads back several years to 2015, and back then most of them were carrying over 4000gm of rifle and scope
