    Yeah a beautiful early 80's 44mag, had that rifle restored, stock had lovely timber - no cracks ( even around the rear of the action ) was an awesome little gun. I sold it a year or so before the "fuk tard buy up" god I hope it's been hidden away & never got put into the crusher, would break my heart

    Biggest areas to save easy weight are barrel length, purely less steel is weight. And the scope choice, can be a couple hundred grams in scopes pretty easily I found
    The biggest weight savings for most rifles are in the stock.

    It's too accurate to mess with, I am tempted mind you

    The wife's Tikka the 7mm08 with 20 inch barrel, dpt, Talley 30mm rings holding vortex viper HS 4-16x44 comes in at 3.5kg. Not a lot in it really, both in factory stocks.

    Sako A7 roughtec pro 7mm rem mag with 24 inch fluted barrel, Hardy gen five stealth, factory bases, Warne 30mm steel rings and surprise, vortex viper hst 4-16x44 weighs in somewhere around 4.5kg (slightly over I think). Again, too accurate to mess with. I used to have a Bushbuck bipod attached to the front of it as well which put it over or just on 5kg I'm pretty sure.
    Sorry that's 4.8kg for the rem mag, ready to hunt with no bipod.

    All this is making me want to switch to a brake for the rem mag and rebarrel the Tikka to 308. Or rechamber the 7mm08 to 284 and just use that for everything...

    Surprised how many guys have 9lb plus rifles,
    Not sure weights on mine as it's 2.5 half years since I was last able to get to NZ,
    Finnlight 7-08, Swarovski 3x10 Z3, cut to .17" will be the lightest,
    M70. Featherweight, wood blue 22", 7x57, with a lecia 3x10 the other general rifle,
    I've got a highly modified Kimber Montana .260, scoped with an unltra light scope is 5.2 oz, but no suspressor, thought about it several times,but think a suppressor will mess up the balance,

    Whoo ho! just got a call back from Air New Zealand, on the way back for a month April 6th, get to see Dad and family, lay sum flowers on moms grave ( she passed last year), flick the fly rod around, and stomp around the hills, burning off sum fat, catch a few snapper, hope fully get a deer, pretty excited, been longest I've been away in 20 years,

    The 270wsm is not all that inefficient and will take a barrel cut. Is yours 24"? Mine is 22" and I get the sorts of velocity that you quote for yours. It would still out perform an ordinary 270 24" barrel at 20"

    That said, my 20" 300saum is just the bees knees so I can see why you would want to do it. Mine weighs 3.18kg scoped but without suppressor fitted. Shoots 168gr NBT at 3k. Ouch.

    yeah mines 24" I'd like to go 18-20" in 300wsm shooting heavier projectiles.....one day, no rush as I have plenty of supplies for the rifle in it's current configuration. As I said if h right barrel comes up I'll buy it and squirrel it away for a rainy day

    Sako carbon light in 6.5 Creedmoor with a Z8 I could save around 300grams I think by going to a Z5 but I'm happy to carry the extra weight for a way better scope.

    OK, out of bounds a bit but no suppressor on the Finnwolf - yet it weighed 8lb+ last time I checked.
    Still has a savage kick!
