If the CZ is only 150 more it is the obvious choice; nice little guns.
I used to own a zastava mini mauser and it was very light. Using a peep sight instead of an optic drops a lot of weight. That gun with a tupperware stock would be pretty damn light.

You forgot to add "men of weak constitution".

Damn it SuperCub ...
Back to x39 bolt actions before this gets wayyyyy off track.
I've wanted a 7.62 x 39 bolt action for many years now and get more determined every time someone starts a tread on the topic.
Something custom like this could be fun: (although it doesn't look light ...)

Yes - and the Remington 799 (discontinued) which is a Zastava M85 Mini-Mauser barreled action in a Remington laminate stock. Features a 20" barrel, nicely blued, and decent adjustable trigger. Here's mine -
Sorry ..... Didn't mean to get you all worked up with the slippers pic. My bad.
On topic ..... Why not buy a 700 action and replace the bolt with one from PTG that will fit the 7.62x39? Add a lightweight bbl in a tiny little stock painted in pinkfurryslippers camo and your GTG.
Can always install a one-inch "wimp sponge" ...

Only reason a grown man should be wearing fuzzy pink slippers is to get a laugh out of the kids ....
That could be a very viable approach for a x39 bolt action. Remington 700 being my favoured design. Have to look into that a bit more. Toss on a Wildcat lightweight stock .... hmmmmmmm
It would have to be cut and rechambered, no? It would probably be cheaper to buy a new barrel? Just asking.
