Top 5 Ultralight Rifles for 2019
Here are five of the lightest big-game hunting rifles on the market today, all of which weigh 6 pounds or less.
CVA's New Lightweight Accura Mountain Rifle
"Lightweight" continues to be the buzzword for new rifles this year. The new CVA Accura Mountain Rifle is no exception.
Savage M11 Lightweight Rifle
This short-action M11 Lightweight in 6.5mm Creedmoor is smartly engineered, well built, quick, accurate and a delight to carry.
CVA ACCURA Mountain Rifle
The CVA ACCURA Mountain Rifle is a pound lighter than the APEX, and comes with WeatherGuard to handle everything a hunt can dish out.
Hardware: Weatherby Mark V Ultra Lightweight RC
While building a lightweight, accurate production rifle sounds like a no-brainer, it's often easier said than done. That's why Digital Managing Editor Justin McDaniel was intrigued when Weatherby announced its new Mark V Ultra Lightweight RC.
How to Choose a Rifle for Your Mountain Hunt
It doesn’t matter what you're doing, if you're doing it in the mountains then “weight” will probably have an influence on your success or failure. This includes your deer rifle.
Kimber's Lightweight Hunter Rifle
The lightweight Hunter is the latest bolt-action hunting rifle from Kimber.
Rifles for the Backpack Hunter
Need a rifle for your backpack hunt? Here are a few worth considering.
Hardware: Nosler M48 Mountain Carbon
The M48 Mountain Carbon is perhaps the ultimate do-all rifle. Its carbon-fiber wrapped barrel and high-end carbon-fiber stock results in a sub-.75-inch rifle that handles like an ultralight yet shoots like a mid-weight.
Hardware: Bergara Premier MgLite
The Premier MgLite rifle features an ultra-lightweight XLR Element magnesium chassis and Bergara’s proprietary CURE Carbon barrel, making it the epitome of a lightweight, packable precision hunting rifle.
