    Typo on their website methinks, Savage website says 5.5lb which is just under 2.5kg.

    Working backwards from the AUW of my rifle, it is around 4 2/3lb bare. 11 oz each for scope & suppressor and 3oz for rings...

    The factory stock is really heavy, the 1 I have now is 1/2 the weight!

    Stock standard Baikal IZH-18, wooden stock + Leupold VX1 1-4x20

    3.3 kg

    This is before it goes on diet, chopping barrel to 18 inches, and will shave the fore-end a bit as well.

    Will put is on the scales again after the weight-loss program, and with the can on...
