Greetings All,
A blast from the past. The state of the art in the olden days.
Standard T3 Lite, Tikka rings, 6x36 Leupold scope with ballistic reticle. Load 159 grain SST at 2,810 fps. Earplugs in daypack. Been here about 20 years and hardly used. Not for sale. Tiny bench rest additional. Weight about 3 kg.
Regards Grandpamac.![]()
Greetings,
You all spotted my obvious mistake, they were 129 SST projectiles although I do have some 160 grain round noses. Hmm. and yes it was a 6.5x55 and not some new fangled thing that does the same job.

would be REALLY interesting to see the weight of that new never fired tikka 243 that was forsale a week or four back....
75/15/10 black powder matters
damn there are some light rigs on this thread..
this is 3.7kg as shown. its a 284 and about as lite as I want it to still be able to shoot respectable distance and spot hits on target

Greetings again,
The 6x36 scope (no longer listed) weighs under 300 grams. I don't have the bipod on for hunting as I can't use one in the field. A series of unfortunate events over the last year or so has kept the 6.5 in the safe but hope to rectify that in the coming months.
GPM.
Not exactly light now as it weighs 3.7kg .
Model 7 with a Remington sps weight hardy barrel at 20 inches. Remington fibreglass stock and a 2-12 vx6, dpt suppressor
Used to have a vx3 2.5-8 and the 18.5 inch standard barrel and I think 2.8 kg ish

Every machine is a smoke machine,
If you use it wrong enough.
Rem Model 7, Manner stock Hardy barrel, Neopod, DPT & Z6 still tips the scales at 3642gr
I'm happy with the weight though as it shoots superb off hand & prone.
