Only 7 lb?...so just over 8 lb. with a small scope?...that's not bad...it looked heavier. Some modern European Stutzens are quite heavy, apparently designed for the stand and not for carrying.
For instance, I know the full-stock Bavarian Sako 85 can weigh close to 10 pounds (depending on the wood density), and that's before scoping it. Quite a log to carry all day. I once had a factory original full-stock Tikka M-65 in 6.5x55 that was even heavier, so there must be some who like them. For me, 8 lb. incl. scope is about right.
Can you tell us more about the Sauer carbine? I've never seen one.

404 carbine
Very nice! by 404 I take it is a 404 Jeffrey?
Looks about perfect for a bongo, forest buffalo hunt! And will handle any troublesome elephant one may encounter at spitting distance in the thick jungle!
Or Brown bear in an alder thicket!
Edit: Looked it up...Model 404.
What cartridge is it chambered in?
In 9.3x62 would still be great for hunts mentioned, not to mention many other big game hunts!

Who makes it? Holland and Holland? Rigby? Mauser, Styr, ? It was a wild goose chase searching the site for it.
