What’s your rifle weigh?

[Long Cut]

Built 16.5” R700 in .243 with B&C Tac stock, DNZ 1-Piece & SWFA 5-20x50 - over 11.5#setup
CVA Scout in 6.5CM 20” with 7 rounds & knife in stock pouch & SWFA 3-9 on DNZ One-Piece - ~7.10#

Looking for a new barrel / stock for the 700. 11# is too heavy of a hunting rifle for me, even if it’s built to be a clear cut / powerline / AG field gun.

Iirc my Kimber Montana 6.5 creed, Leupold 4.5-14x44 with a 24cf ti bolt knob and arca plate is 6.2lbs. It’s a joy to carry and fairly nice to shoot.

Barrett fieldcraft 6.5 creed

8lbs as it is in the the photo (full mag 10 rounds in the stock pack).

The need to bring these back.

What rings and rail? Looks lower than what I have going on with the same scope.

APA rings, of which I don't think they produce anymore. I don't recall the manufacturer of the rail.

My Tikka T3x in .223 weighs 9.25 pounds with sling, suppressor, and ammo. Fieldcraft 6.5 CM is 7.25 pounds configured same, but no suppressor.

Remington 700 adl with action slabbed and bolt lightened,, with and gen 1 Rem Ti stock and take off barrel, talley lightweight rings, light weight firing pin, Rifle Basix trigger, and a S&B 6 x 42 fixed scope made in West Germany, belly full of 180 grn, lightweioght sling and Harris UL bipod is 6.0 lbs exactly.

Tikka T3 Superlite 300wm with Nightforce NXS 5.5-25 loaded is 9.2 lbs. Not to bad.

5 lbs 15 oz loaded; my best weight savings to date—front scope cover replaced by Sans bar wrapper

 

[SBNY]

Howa Superlite 6.5 CM with a Leupold 3.5–10x40, Talley lows, and a Freyr & Devik suppressor. Total weight is 6.1 lbs loaded (3 rounds of Nosler Accubonds).
Runs great as a backpack mountain rifle and is primarily used for reindeer hunting here in Norway. Now consistently shoots 3-shot MOA groups after bedding the action to relieve stock tension from the front action screw.

 

[ZAK13]

My 2 X-bolts, one in 6.8W & the other in 30-06 both weigh in right around 8lbs, give or take a few ounces. The 6.8W is 8lbs 4oz., with a bipod, the -06 is 7lbs. 10oz., both weights are rifles loaded.

Accupoint? Been looking at a 3-9 myself.

I have a Howa Super-Lite in 308 Win. 5.6lbs ready to rock. It too needed a massive bedding job (literally the worst bedding job from the factory I have ever seen, almost like somebody bolted a rifle into an unfinished stock bad). But once properly bedded, it's a 1.25 MOA for 10 rounds with 165 Accubonds (at a stunning 2695 FPS from a 20 in barrel), and sub-MOA with SMKs. Recoil is a little sharp due to the weight, but it lacks the force behind it of a bigger boomer.

 

[NorthIdahoDude]

My other lightweight gun is a Tikka T3 rebarreled in 7x57, 7.9lbs loaded and ready to rock. Sub-MOA for 30 rounds of either 175 or 162 ELD-Xs over N555.

Accupoint? Been looking at a 3-9 myself.

Yup. It’s the MIL reticle (green dot)—I had to play around with one of those ballistic calculators to get the MIL dots to line up for holdovers. They (Trijicon) evidently make a hunting specific reticle with holdovers, but not in the Accupoint.

It is a nice scope and decently light at 13-ish ounces.
