The Browning LT. WT. Stalker. It weighs a little more then the 6.5 pounds. Depending on the caliber. They go from right @ 7 pounds to almost 8 pounds with the Boss installed. The 270 and 30-06 are 7.38#' s w/o the Boss....MSRP is 825.00 for the standard caliber w/o the Boss .If you shop around you can get a much better price.

Ruger are you sure that the LT WT stalker comes with the Boss system ,the composite stalker has the boss I believe .

halcon, I guess I should have been clearer.You are correct. The LT.WT BAR with the wood stock is not available with the Boss.The LT.WT. Stalker with the composite stock is available w or w/o the Boss. Rifles equipted with the Boss come w/o sights.The ones w/o the Boss sights are standard.
I had checked the Browning site earlier but never did look at the LT.WT. wood stock one.I stand corrected.

One other thing. The BAR wood stock is called the LT.WT BAR.The BAR with the composite stock is called the " Stalker" . That' s the one I was originally talking about.Without going back into Browning' s site I' m sure the wood stocked model weighs more.hogwall was asking about a lightweight rifle,when the Stalker came to mind.

You could add the Ruger mini 30 to the above list.

the remington 7400 is real light.but i would rather pick a gun that will be able to be reliable for a second shot than the weight.
