What’s your rifle weigh?

Savage ultralight in 6.5PRC with a strike eagle 4-24X50. Comes in at 8.5 pounds. Plan to go to a lighter scope in the future.
 
Husqvarna 1640 Featherweight .30-06 with Zeiss Terra 2-7 = 7.18 lbs
Weatherby Mark V Ultralightweight .300 WBY with Swaro Z3 4-12 = 7.54 lbs
Remington 700 .270 Win in a B&C stock with Leupold VX3 = 7.88 lbs

Any rifle after a few days of hiking = more than I would like it to.
Definitely considering something a bit lighter for the extended trips.
 
Been looking at ways to lighten my load. My current rifle is a rem 700 sendero in 300wm, weighing in at about 12lbs unloaded. Tossing around the idea of a new rifle, mainly only considering a tikka or savage in their respective lightweight models. But if there are other options under $1k I’m all ears.
Shooting this same rifle... Love it, but it's a tank, coming in at 11.45 lbs loaded with a bipod and sling Going through the options to lighten it up, as the barrel is starting to get a little iffy... The option I want to go, but may take awhile is to swap the barrel for a shorter carbon barrel to allow for a suppressor. Next would be fluting the bolt, replacing the bipod with a carbon model or ditching it altogether, and putting on a magnesium chassis stock. Anyone have any thoughts on cutting weight with this platform? Action is stainless, and want to keep this rifle weatherproof, so no blued barrels.
 
6 lbs. 13 oz. all in.

Savage short action with Savage (new style) tupperware stock and 20" Shaw 7mm-08 barrel I had fluted to drop weight. Wears Talley rings and a Burris Fullfield II scope. Gives me 0.6's with 139 LRX @ 2900 and 0.75's with 120 TTSX's at 3150 fps.IMG_3895.JPG
 
Lotsa nice rifles here ! Thanks everyone for sharing .
My Savage 110 LRH with scope not loaded is 10.2 lbs , but thats a FX1000 scope . It shoots great groups , but its an anchor to carry .
I'm thinking about a Proof Elevation 7mm rem mag , I've found one new for a good price , whats your opinions on Proof rifles ?
 
My mountain ascent 300 win mag is sitting about 8lb 2oz at the moment with a trijicon tenmile HX 3-18x50 on it. It actually feels really nice and while it’s not my lightest rifle, it seems that it’s a good weight for an in raked 300 mag.
 
My heaviest rifle, a vintage Whitworth in .375 Holland & Holland weighs right at about 12 lbs. My lightest rifle is an antiquated Winchester Pre-64 Model 70 in .270 Winchester and it weighs a tad over 9 lbs. My other rifles fall into the 10 lbs category, or thereabouts.
