So its half the weight when you unload it then

Another one , not suppressed, 280ai built on REM700 action, fluted bolt, 24in fluted TF bbl, CF stock, 3.5-18x44 Swaro Z5, weighs in at 7.4 lbs with T2 brake.

My 21" supprrssed 7saum is 3.5kg with 30mm z6

I feel like around the 3.5mark is a very nice carry weight

Ruger American 300BLK, Nikon Monarch, DPT overbarrel can, 3.2kg (all factory)

That's a pretty good weight all up. My 22" Barreled 7mm SAUM is 3.1 kg with a 30mm tube 4-20x50 Sightron, but that doesn't include the suppressor, which stays in my pack until I get to a lookout point and am getting ready to make a LR prone shot. I always carry the rifle without the suppressor fitted. I'm still carrying the weight of it of course.

The only rifles i carry all the while with their suppressors fitted are my shorter barreled rifles that only ever get fired with the suppressor on. Ie 17" 284, and 15" 708.

I know I shit on about running this with irons but I chickened out so weighed it wit some glass on it today. Bit heavier than lot of other rigs I’ve had but very “pointy” balances excellent and nice to shoot. Those old school Sako rings weigh a bloody tonne in themselves!

Yeah typically I do the same unless bush hunting or in the scrub

I guess i win

My garbage cheap setup is at least five kilos, my arms and shoulders really hate me when I go bush.

@Gibo we need to see yours on a digi kitchen scale, @MSL 14" Kimber was 2765 grams.

Mine was 2808 grams on the digi scale

A mate that loves my little 15" M7 in the light Wildcat stock, now wants one, so im talking him into doing one on a new Kimber Hunter, whipping the Gel outta the stock, cut the barrel down, and fit Talleys, easily the cheapest way of achieving this result by a long shot.
