I hate all these lightweight rifles!! I have looked at a Remington Model 700 Titanium and the damn thing so light...  :roll:

Recoil increases as weight is reduced but more importantly it makes offhand shooting a lot harder... much harder to steady those lightweight rifles.


IMHO the only people that can really justify these types rifles are the high altitude elk/sheep hunters. That makes sense to me. If you are hiking up and down mountains then go for it.
 

For us "flat-landers" an 8 lb rifle including scope is just about right for any standard calibers. If you're into the bigger stuff like .375 H&H and up then you want something in the 9 lb+ range anyway.


I say, hit the gym and get in shape instead of buying some "flyweight" rifle.

I have long been interested in this Browning light weight. I am a large strong physically fit man, 6' 2" 225 lbs. I currently carry a scoped M1A and it grows a little tiresome at the end of the day. Holding the TI is pleasant and comfortable. Recoil does not bother me. The caliber choices are interesting, all for short action. Maybe 300 short mag or 308 win or 325 short mag. Some day I might buy one.

Yawn.............................

    It seems that most people think that Lightweight hunting rifles are a new thing  ??? however they are not  ;) The clammer for lighter hunting rifles is nothing new either  ::) BSA produced the Majestic Feather Weight just for such a market and that was back in 1959 or so. The rifle in the std long action  ::) weighed 6 1/4lbs and that's with a walnut stock. Yes in chamberings like .270 Win recoil is lively and when using a scope longer eye relief is a good idea  ;).

     I used such a rifle on June 15th to shoot a nice Muntjac Buck with a handload using some Old Nosler 130 grn Flat based bullets. This was the first time I had actually shot game with any .270 win chambered rifle so I was especially pleased even if the gmekeepers Grandson was not as neither he of the Gamekeeper like the .270 Win cartridge ??? Oh well! ;D

    Next is to get more used to the P-H 6E sporting aperture sight which I have for it or the Monarch which it's currently fitted too  8).

    Oh and I am neither particularly strong not fit the Feather weight delux is just one of my sporting rifle collection and the 270 which I have 4 rifles chambered for was just a jinxed one for me as although it was the chambering in the first full bore rifle I ever brought whilst carrying one in the field despite seeing game it's always been the wrong sex, species or on the cull the wrong deer  ???.
