Some rifles are just a dream to carry. They balance well and weigh less than 8 pounds. Usually they point fast as well.
I was going through the safes during the quarterly oiling and weighed a few.
Here is a good classic example to start with:
A 1940 Model 94 Winchester in 30-30.
6.5 pounds empty. Balances right under the forward action.
2 MOA accuracy and since it is an older M-94 it does not jam.
OK for a 150 yard woods rifle. The only down side is the problem with mounting optics for those who need them and mounting a sling.
