With prices becoming more sensible now, I had started thinking about a lightweight AR-15/M4. I wanted to keep it to six pounds without sights. Unless you build your own, there's not a lot of quality choices out there at reasonable prices.
I happened to take a quick look at Bud's Police Supply (sister store to Bud's Gunshop) and they had a Colt 6720 Carbine. I wasn't really ready to buy so I put it on layaway. I didn't know when they might have it back in and it's just about the exact setup I had in mind including a 16 inch chrome lined barrel and coming in at 6.0 or 6.12 pounds (I've seen both figures).
I'm not sure if I'll put another optic on it. If I do, it will likely be the Aimpoint PRO red dot at 7 and a half ounces. This would not be a heavy use rifle, but would be for defense of home and castle and for the range.
