I bought a used Remington 700 LTR ("light tactical," 20" barrel) with the early detachable magazine. It weighs 7.5# without sights, which is close to normal sporter weight, handles very nicely, and shoots far better than I can. I get ragged one-hole five shot groups from prone at 100 yards that typically expand to around 1/2" due to the flyer that I almost always throw. I've read lots of complaints about the DM on these rifles, and some rifles definitely had problems, but mine has never had a hitch of any kind feeding from the magazine. This is not in the light/ultralight class, but if you look at the ordinary M70/77/700 sporters, it's in the same weight class and it outshoots any factory rifle I've had right out of the box.
