    Mine is 5lb 3oz bare. 6lb 10oz with a Bushnell 6500 2.5-16x42 scope ( scope is nearly 20oz by itself ).
    Mine has carbon stock (16oz) light weight firing pin and shroud, fluted bolt and barrel, talley one piece rings. I have all the weight savings written down some where if you are interested.

    My rifle came with an after market limbsaver on it. From memory I saved 1.5lb. The older factory plastic stock is stupidly heavy.

    Are you guys running the factory pencil thin barrel or have you gone aftermarket barrels? Thinking of going down this path potentially after a stug stock...
