Personally I have not. I have shot enough rifles to know that light weight is not necessarily better. A proper fit in a rifle is more important than weight. A heavy rifle that fits poorly can hammer the crap out of you just as a light weight rifle. A light weight rifle that fits properly has less felt recoil than a poorly fitted one. I hunted with a guy that had a "mountain rifle" built by Remington. 18 1/2" barrel. Light as hell. He consistently wounded game. I had an occasion to shoot it. The one time I pulled the trigger convinced me to tell him buy a new one. I had no feeling in my fingers after pulling the trigger. That thing kicked like a mule. It fit like a club. Now I know why he wounded so much game, he was scared spitless of this thing. I am looking for a Winchester 1885 in 325 WSM so the weight issue should be a moot point.
