What’s your rifle weigh?

So jealous of y'all. My "go to" is a Tikka in 7 Rem Mag with a KRG Echo which weighs too much at 9.8 lbs (all in with can).

I'm halfway through building out my mountain gun which is a Tikka 16.5" 308 (waiting for my smith to get back to cut the barrel down) which will likely be around 8.25lbs with can. At some point in the nebulous future, I'll be replacing the Tikka stock with a Blacktooth which will free me up 10oz, and replacing the can with an Otter Creek Hydrogen K which will net me another 4.5oz off too.

Cheers!

Check out the echelon stock. Lighter, better ergos than the peak 44 stocks.

Interesting. I could shave 6oz more, but it is almost twice the price (with sling swivel studs etc). Is it really that good?

EDIT: Reading the fine print, I'd spend almost twice the price to shave off... 2 oz....

Idk how 779 to 959 is twice, but it's mostly the Blacktooth is a very traditional shape that is quite poor for recoil management and positioning. The Bastion is better, but it's also at least 7oz heavier than the echelon. Depends what's important.
