I have a 7-08 that is about 6 1/2 lb's scoped. That's my lightest rifle, its also the rifle that I have to work the hardest to shoot really well at longer ranges. The rifle is plenty accurate, I just have trouble with light rifles. That 7-08 is the rifle I'm packing on this years high buck hunt. most of my deer/elk rifles weigh 8 to 9 lb's. My varmint rifles have 26" bull bbl's and weigh in around 15lb's. After packing heavy long rifles around all winter, my big game rifles sure feel light and handy.

My Kimber Montana 325WSM weighs about the same.  I've got a Ruger 25-06 that weighs about 11lbs.
