It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

In the morning it is about 9 pounds. At the end of the day it is about 46 pounds. Oddly - that's about how much my boots weigh at the end of day.

FN made Winchester? Not sure what you're referring to...

Originally was going to pick it up for a buddy who wants to get into hunting, but money is really tight for him so I'm keeping it and will let him use it.

Love it so far, more than my old XCR. But... have yet to shoot it. Said it likes 150 BTs and 165 TSXs and can do half inch groups with those two. Other ammo, not so well. Will find out soon enough.

Yeah fn now makes and owns the brand, they look really well made from the only 1 I saw and handled, but haven't seen the sythetic/ss models.

I haven't weighed my rifle, but according to the specs it is supposed to weigh 8.2 pounds and the Vari X-III 50MM scope and rings should weigh about a pound.  So it should weigh around 9.5 pounds.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

my deer rifle weighs just under 6.5 lbs (Remington model 7 in 6mm, kids model) I've had it since i was 12 (14 years ago) it has identical dimensions as a ruger 10/22. My elk rifle is winchester model 70 sporter 300 win. mag with a 4.5x14 on it and its just over 10. All i know is my bow weighs less and the 300 stays in the cabinet.

Heavy.... :) I typically haul around a Ruger No.1 with a Doctor 3-9x50. Since its a single shot, I then use a Uncle Mikes butt stock shell holder that holds around 10 .300 weatherby cartridges. I used to put a Harris Bipod on the front, but haven't packed it around too much lately to  conserve on some weight.

Ok... yeah, have no complaints about it. Original owner (only had it for a couple of weeks--sold it because of lay-offs) ground down the inside of the stock where the front stud is and had to adjust the trigger. Other than that, is great. Impressed with it so far, just need to take it to the range.
