I just picked up a Kimber Hunter .308 on gunbroker. Talley Lightweight Lows and a Leopold VX-3HD 3.5-10x40. Pulled the gel out of the stock and its just under 5.75 Lbs.
Can’t wait to get to the range!

You got it, he helped me with almost every aspect of the rifle/scope combo. Now working with a 139 Scenar load he started me with.

I am still a novice to this long range thing, and it is guys like Pat who really shine through by helping others.

what scope is that? is that the fixed 10x? ive been trying to figure out their weight

Yep, PMII 10x42.
it weighs a touch over 20 ounces, I think like 20.2 Without scope caps. Those weigh about 1 oz.

 

[Oregonmuley]

7 lbs 8 ozs, plus 4.5 ozs for the Montana sling so 7 lbs 13 ozs on dead animals

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.

mine tips the scale at 8.2 lbs. remy 700 in 308.

My light weight rig is a kimber MA in 280ai w/ VX5 HD on top. Weighs 6 lb 10 oz without a sling.

 

[supermatt9]

Tikka t3x super lite chambered in 6.5 creedmoor with a vortex 4-16x50 on it. Weighs just under 8 pounds.

Weatherby mark v ultra light weight 35 whelen 5lb12oz bare. Scoped and loaded 7lb1.5oz

barrett fieldcraft 6.5cm. Scoped and loaded 6lb14oz

savage 110 ultra lite 30-06. Scoped and loaded 7lb8oz.

all running Talley lightweight rings using Nikon pro staff 5 4.5-18x40 scopes and slings

My tikka T3X lite compact with a vortex LH and sling is 7.5lbs unloaded. It’s a great balance of light enough and enough weight to not get the wiggles too bad. As others have noted, balance is important too.

The weight sounds awesome but my shoulder already hurts thinking about it. Think I’d almost have to go 308 to not have an involuntary twitch. Couldn’t shoot 300 WIN MAG enough to beat that out of me. My shoulder would fall off first.

Get a muzzle brake. I went with the Christensen Mesa for a light rifle cause it came with a brake that I swapped out for an APA. What you could do is keep your gun cut the barrel to 20 or 22" and put a brake on it. Then get a lighter stock and scope set up.

Savage 110 runs about 7.5 lbs in 30-06 with scope. I bet the 308 version may be lighter??? Plenty of rifle for any critter IMO. Mine shoots sub MOA out of the box. Bullets touch at 100 yards with a rest easily.

 

[6.5x284]

8 pounds with scope and mag in. Will be about exactly 8.5 lb with the TBAC Ultra 5 when it’s out of jail. 6.5 SAUM.

Fieldcraft 6.5 CM is about 6.5 all up.
