Here are five of the lightest big-game hunting rifles on the market today, all of which weigh 6 pounds or less.

Loaded with premium features, the new M48 Mountain Carbon looks to set a new standard for backcountry hunting rifles.

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. A heavy barrel and light weight are normally mutually exclusive, but the combination is made possible by carbon fiber.

From budget guns to London bests, these rifles offer something for every hunter and every budget.

Designed for the “open range,” the Open Country delivers the kind of accuracy needed for long-range shots while keeping weight at a reasonable level.

Nosler’s newest rifle, the Model 48 Long-Range Carbon, is marketed to hunters who want a lightweight arm that’ll go the distance. Does it live up to the hype? Read on.

Deer rifles and the cartridges loaded in them have run the gamut the last 50 years, from the Winchester 94 in .30-30 Win. to the Weatherby Mark V in .30-378 Wby. Mag. and the DPMS ARL in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Get a closer look at some of the most exciting new hunting rifles for 2018.

For 2018, Nosler is offering a hunting rifle that may be the perfect complement to their cartridge lineup—the new M48 Long-Range Carbon.
