Take a shit, lose 30# and drop 3 pounds off the rifle. Best of everything10.2 loaded with bi-pod. Wouldn’t have it any other way, but I also I pack a 95 STX around everywhere as well...
Lots of people get hung up on weight. If you want to save a few pounds take a shit.
Which rifle cover is that?I couldn’t tell you what my rifle weighed.

not true. i have a 2lb scope and bipod attached to my gun and im right at 8.3lbs.If your going to have a quality scope and bipod in a larger caliber there all going to be 10 pounds. Sometimes a sheep gun or similar would be nice until your shooting elk in rough ground Where you want them stopped. I know shot placement is everything, but those critters cane go with no blood
My rig was right around 14lbs. I changed the stock, scope, rings. Got down to a little over 10lbs. Went and shot steel and didn't like it one bit. Recoil isn't an issue but muzzle jump even with brake was a problem. I couldn't spot impacts. I'll gladly carry a heavy rifle and cut the weight somewhere else. I changed around parts again to get in the 12 1/2 pound range. I'm thinking that's about as light as I can get with this rifle and spot impacts.I thought this was the long range section, not the lightweight. 14 lbs ready to rock, here.. but I have 100% confidence in every shot.
I could shave 2lb on a cf barrel or a lb on the scope or a lb on the stock... but I like to see my hits.
