    Another member on the first page of this thread has one scoped suppressed and with a bipod weighing in at 2.35kgs.
    Not everyone’s cuppa tea but there’s a spot in my safe for something that light.

    Try a "safari" sling.
    An 8lb rifle feels like a 6lb
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.

    If there’s a 5lb tikka in budget it’s definitely an option… but it seems like the price of a t3 then the price of a carbon stock vs buying a howa Superlite… Howa would be cheaper and lighter?

    Yep your right lighter cheaper but is it better ?? .just few days ago I sold a hardys suppressor to a guy who bought a brand new howa and 5 shots in it put a bullet right through the suppressor. Faulty rifleing ,they replaced brand new rifle .he left it at store walked out with a tikka . Not saying how's are bad but in my experience Tikka are dam hard to beat .they just do what they should every time . Buy once cry once .
    For the record I like the howa superlight. And look forward to the day I can get my hands on one to give it a try .still wouldn't sell my Tikka for it
