12 Lightweight Bolt-Action & AR-Platform .308 Rifles

Remember the first time you geared up for an excursion into places that don’t have a store on the corner of every block? If you’re like me, you took too much stuff, or the stuff you took was too damn heavy. Lesson learned: Dump what you don’t need and lighten what you take. Your rifle is a perfect example. A tactical rifle does not necessarily mean lightweight. In fact, long-range sniper rifles are easier and more comfortable to shoot when they have some heft. But our focus here is to look at some relatively lightweight bolt-action and AR-platform .308 rifles, because sometimes you feel like going manual and sometimes you don’t.
