HOW LIGHT CAN YOU GO???
« on: November 23, 2005, 01:30:43 AM »
How light can you get one of these rifles, say a 357 Max or 45 colt?  I always looked at the Rossi because they seemed to be advertised as being lighter.

Could you get a handi down to 5# if you shortened the barrel and skeletonized the stock and did ????.

You may make five pounds with a short thin barrel and cut up stock, but just barely, and no scope.  Larry
