on my (likely innacurate) bathroom scale my encore with vortex scope and leupold DD rings weighs 8.8 pounds.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

A lot!  Sendero 7mm RUM with 4-14 50mm scope.  Guessing around 12 lbs.  Lost weight this summer so I guess I can carry a heavy rifle since I'm not so heavy myself.   :chuckle:

well my sendero .300 rummy is heavy as all get out. The bare rifle is 8.5 lbs. From what i hear, when my sendero is all outfitted with a scope and bipod it'll be close to 13 lbs. :yike:  My Nef 7mm-08 handi rifle, scoped and bipod is somewhere in the ballpark of 10 lbs.

Hmm... I've got a .22rimfire rifle that's just near 14 pounds.

My 03-A3 with scope is more than 9 1/2 pounds.  My Ruger77 with scope is just around 8 and my lever guns are less than 7 when loaded.  My son's Rossi 243, (might be for sale soon) is right around 5 and my sons Marlin XL7 in .270win with scope is sweet to carry at a little more than 6 1/2 pounds loaded.

Browning stainless stalker in 325wsm is 6lbs 8oz.  Leupy VXIII in 3.5x10 another 18oz with rings.  Loaded, gonna be pushing 8lbs I'd say.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
