Howdy y'all!

What options do I have for a lightweight backpacking rifle? I've had experience with the M4 / AR-15 platform, but am looking for something lightweight and portable. Preferably something I can stow on a hike and such.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Steer Scout. I’d say your use case would pretty close match what a scout or guide rifle is intended for.

That particular model is out of my price range out the moment, but it's the exact profile im looking for, thanks.

Mossberg MVP? I don’t have Steyr money myself but I like the Mossberg as an alternative and if your in the US it’s American made so much less expensive.

You've been fantastic. The MVP might be the MVP here. Thanks for brainstorming on my behalf. Cheers!
