Just weighted my 9.3x57 M46 Husky - without sling or ammo on the butt, 7lbs.3ounces. With sling and 5 rounds, 7 pounds 15 ounces. It seems as light as a feather to me as my normal hunting rifle for all day packing was 9 pounds and that wasn't a chore at all.
: The rear sight on ine is a single standing blade - no leafs. It had a "U" notch, that I filed out to a shallow "V", which I very much prefer for a hunting sight. The "U" notch was way too small to be taken seriously. Even in the shop, it was only useful if a sight were taken on a well lit wall, otherwise is wasn't visible.
