rifle weight

[jdb]

I was pondering the weight of my rifles today, and did some weighing and was wondering about the weight of some of your rifles. Mine were as follows, rem. 700 .270 with aftermarket laminate stock and leupold 3x9 8.5lbs. t/c encore .223 t/c thunbhole stock and weaver 3x10x50 8.5 lbs. ruger 77/17 bushnell 3x10ao 7.5lbs. winchester 72a 4x weaver steel tube scope. 7lbs. fuuny thing was I would have guessed the t/c way lighter than the remington

My remington is way lighter than the Mauser I have.  Never weighed them.

my win 70 in 270 probably weighs 8.5lbs easy and my weatherby mkV is probably closer to 10lbs....if not more.

your TC have the bull barrel?

Mine range from a 7 lb (with scope) Stevens 200 in .223 all the way up to a 10 lb heavy-barreled Howa Axiom .223.

My vintage (late 50's, early 60's) Sako Mannlicher in .308 caliber comes in at 6 1/2 lbs with scope...a 2x8 Burris Signature.  A joy to pack.

heavier the weapon better it is for smacking something when you run ut of bullets!!!  Honestly though I have quite a few weapons do not know the weight of them, all I know is they are way lighter than carrying an M60, tripod and 800 rounds.

I don't really worry about how much mine weigh, they spend 99% of their time in the Eberlestock anyway. My Sendero clocks in at about 10.5 lbs... and I don't mind packing it all over. I figure... why worry about shaving a pound or two of rifle weight, when I could afford to shed about 30 lbs off my ass?

You guys calling me fat?

Seriously though... I remember watching this guy and his buddy buy matching Kimber Montana .300 WSMs to replace their existing .300 Winnys (to the tune of about $1200 a piece). They were going on and on about how they only weighed 6 pounds and what-not. Funny thing was... both these dudes had to weigh in around 4 bills. After they left I told the sales guy they would have been much better off spending a quarter of the money on a treadmill... and they would have shaved about 50 lbs... instead of two... we were rollin' laughin'. About a week later I saw them at the range trying to sight those rifles in and getting worked over by those little hell bitches... seems a 6+ pound .300 mag is no joke from the bench.
