In a traditional bolt gun it's pretty hard to get under 4lbs for the bare rifle. Scopes that are sub 20oz are rarely any good so that puts you a bit over 5.

The straight pull AR is the lightest, but lacks much of what most want in a hunting rifle.

Light rifles are more difficult to shoot well, most especially under circumstances that matter. 8lbs is the sweet spot.

Trijicon accupoint 3-9 is well under 20oz and it’s a great scope. Not really a dialing scope but still a great option at 13.4 oz.
