The B&C stock adds 9oz / 255g approx.

My pimped T3 as pictured 7lb 8oz / 3.4kg

The scope is a Leupold VX1 newer model with finger adjustable turrets in lieu of the older slot type that required a coin or screw driver. Looks like the same turrets as the Redfield Revolution that is made by Leupold in the US - not to be confused with the Redfield Revenge that are made somewhere else.

I won't claim these weights are exact. I used an inexpensive kitchen scale !

Is the bolt fluting done simply to reduce weight or what other benefits does that offer ? Your gun looks awesome too !!!
