If you’re in the market for a rig with the classic fit and feel of a hunting rifle stock without the extra weight, the new Bergara Premier Canyon, built on a 100 percent carbon fiber AG Composites stock, is worth a close look.

The 7-pound Long Range Carbon is a full-length, heavy-barreled rifle that’s just as suited for the sandbags at the target range as it is for slogging through snow and cedars on the crest of a mountain.

Weighing in at 5.5 pounds, the ultralight Sauer 101 Highland XTC is a well-balanced, all-around rifle, featuring a hand-laid carbon fiber stock, fluted and factory threaded barrel, fluted bolt and all the standard S101 features that guarantee reliability and accuracy.
