    Cmon, we all know it's really you that finds it too heavy

    BTAS FX Cyclone - light weight, superbly accurate, excellent trigger, and in carbine simply stunning! Slight issue of the budget perhaps

    S410K in walnut would be lighter than an S200.

    Definately. A damned sight more comfortable for her to hold as well. In fact, an S410 even in beech would feel lighter than the S200 for that very reason.

    And the small matter that you own the only carbine in existance
    Seriously though, even full size they are really light weight, almost dainty.

    Not for long, BT is making some more

    I was looking at an FN12 at shepreth some weeks back and rather glad I didn't go for one of those - it was on the cards at one point. It felt heavier than my cyclone and the mag's were horrible. Lee couldn't get it to work properly. And an AAS410K is only slightly long than mine but it's a lot heavier.
    Besides FX guns dont seem to get much of a mention so I thought I'd bang the drum a little.

    Daystate XLR or Mirage

    FN12/8 is a far nicer rifle than the AA200 but the multi shot version is just plain nasty.

    as with anything ,go try them or at least try them for fit a the local store.
    If it's got tits or wheels it’s going to be expensive.....

    Not many people seem to know that the S400k is only an ounce heavier than the S200, and lighter than the Ultra.

    Weight is only one part of the problem.

    Balance & fit is critical and to be honest, only the individual who will shoot the rifle will be able to say if rifle X fits and balances better than rifle Y.

    There is no real solution other than to try as many as you can and see which one fits best for your individual requirements.

    You WILL know when you have found the right fit and balance.

    Then other factors will come into play such as Use, Budget, No. of shots, Single/Multi shot, Hunting, HFT, blah blah blah....

    A Skan Mini M32 MKIII weighs 2.6kg (5.75lb)
