lightweight tacticool savage rifle

10# ain't light.

it is if your tactical rifles are 15-18 lbs then 10 lbs feels real light. :-* :-* :-*

I have already tried the obsolete "scout rifle" concept, it works well for snap shots but not much else.

Believe it or not, the factory plastic stocks are as light as you can get.

If you need light weight, grab one of the new lightweight hunters in .223 and send it Fred to cut the barrel to 20 inches and install his Acme magazine conversion.

Aluminum bases can be had from just about anybody.

Don't know that I buy that about factory stocks being as light as you can get...

The 11LW rifle Savage offers is 5.5lbs utilizing a wood stock...today's composite stocks, not the factory tupperware but the offering of McMillan with its Edge technology using graphite cloth and Manners with the carbon fiber option on their stocks can offer tactical stocks in the under 30oz range...add one to a 11LW and possibly be at 5 or maybe even a little under 5 lbs...remove the factory tube and substitute a Lothar Walther Ultra LW barrel (steel liner sleeved in aluminum) at 2lbs (varmint config) and you might have a really light weight tactical rifle...
