    None of the above is my answer, I'd advise you to stick with a good second hand version of something like:

    S410, Regal, HW100 or even a "sorted" R10

    I believe these all to be superior rifles than those you have listed, but it's your money

    I didn't think a RM8 was that heavy? Could you not try using it for a while as I suspect it would do a very good job for you. Have you tried fitting a sling foo carrying it between shots?

    There are many good reviews on 'the net' . Quite a few of the guns mentioned are 'as heavy' , or heavier than your R8.

    An Air Arms S200, with the Multi shot , is light and accurate. Bsa Scorpion se, would be, and is my choice .
    I have a really bad Back , ('Sciatic nerve ), and I know how painful a heavy rifle can be to carry .

    AA S410/510 carbine, or TDR are top quality very accurate and light . A Hw110, is a little heavier but deadly accurate and very quiet. Regulated, and comes with a moderator and two magazines.

    There is a huge choice , and many hours of 'lockdown looking' to be had, in reviews.

    Good luck with your search
    Peace through superior fire power!
