I'm everyway looking for a lightweight and compact deer rifle. Last year I got the Marlin 1894 CSBL in 357 Magnum. It's compact but still about 7 pounds after adding a lightweight scope.
Any rifles out there under 5 pounds for a decent price? I'm not looking for super stiff high tech stocks or carbon fiber barrels. Something like the Ruger American Compact and Ranch come in right at 6 pounds, anything go a pound lighter?
I don't mind hunting with 223 or other light cartridges. Thinking about adding 300 BO or 350 Legend to the stable but haven't yet...
