Tikka t3x ctr picatinny rail weight?

[BigRutt]

I know this is almost irrelevant but figured I'd ask anyways. So does anyone know how much it weighs or have an extra they can throw on a scale? Trying to cut a few ounces figured I'd ask before I dove into getting those screws out which I heard is a pain.

Factory rail off my stainless CTR.

A set of Hawkins Hybrid direct mount T3x (25 MOA) rings weigh 3.4oz on that same scale.

Do the factory rails have a recoil lug?

They have 2 small pins and 5 (I believe) machine screws that hold them on. No big "lug" that fits the cut out on the receiver but a very solid interface nonetheless.

If it’s not too much trouble, could you post a picture of the underside?

The addition of the holes in the receiver for pins like these was one of the upgrades of the T3x vs the older T3. The T3 only has the recess for a single, but larger, recoil lug.
