[QUOTE="teesquare, post: 1746331, member: 56740"] Sounds like you have been reading the high volume rifle maker's websites:D....The truth is - it is a value perception issue. Melvin Forbes ( New Ultra Light Arms )has been making short action rifles in the Sub-5 lb. category for 30+ years. He builds the stocks using only Kevlar and Carbon Fiber. Always 16 oz. or less. But - there is a price tag associated with well thought out, lightweight, high quality fine accuracy rifles. Some folks just can't understand or maybe stomach that price point. It took me a number of years to come to grips with the reality that you generally get what you pay for when dealing with this level of rifle maker. I have a sub 6 lb. .300 WM in bound from him now.
