You don't give much info about what and why for the hunting, what will you be hunting for, and why the need for so light?
What types of game and what distances...
or do you just have a "thing" for 24" light weight ARs?
"Light" suggests walking about but 24" suggests some "need" for long distance shots... hence accuracy becomes an issue.
There's a reason most longer barrels are heavier profiles.
Personally, I doubt if you will find your dream 24" lightweight, accurate AR style grendel.
9 lbs isn't that heavy for many guys (for me if I was doing a lot of hiking, yes 9lb is not my ideal), I have some that tip at 10 lbs but I don't fancy doing a lot of hiking with them.
If you need barrel length then a CZ is probably your best bet, course it's not an AR. 24-25" from what I read.
Howa has a standard 22" barrel as well.
Then there's that 14 yr old girl who killed her bull elk at 392 yds (U tube vid), with a 22" AR grendel. Took 3 shots (3 hits) though but she did it.
