[QUOTE="big johnson, post: 2302593, member: 116259"] Most ultra lite rifles aren't made to shoot off a bench . Recoil can be stiff a lot due to stock design and pencil barrels. I have owned several over the last 30 years. The lightest was a 6.5 cm on a skeletonized 700 short action 23" pencil barrel, no brake, blind mag ,mag tech rings, Leupold ultra lite 3x9 scope 9oz. with cds with 4 rounds in the gun total weight was 6.0lbs. even. Kicked harder than my 340 that weighed 7lbs ,4oz. with 2 rounds in the box . Iv'e sold both to friends who still hike a lot. To me the definition of ultra lite stops at 7lbs. My son built a 5 1/2lb. 300wm then put heavy glass on it to keep the weight under 8lbs. that's not a bad way to go. Lots of options just do your home work. [/QUOTE]
