Good lookin rifle. What bipod and rifle mount is that?

It's an Atlas bipod and MagPul Arca rail

It's an Atlas bipod and MagPul Arca rail

I meant tripod & mount, not bipod. My bad...Long morning.

I meant tripod & mount, not bipod. My bad...Long morning.

All good, I understand that. It's a Leophoto 364 C with a cheap Desmond 75mm half ball and Amazon Arca clamp

Just picked up my 264 Win Mag. Winchester M70 post 64, benchmark #4 fluted barrel and brake. Manners stock. This is the second time I rebarreled this action. Excited to get out and shoot it.

What did the weight come out to?

 

[SwampDog13]

What did the weight come out to?

7.4lbs before the scope and rings. So it's somewhere in the 9.5lb range dressed. I don't have an accurate scale to weigh it with just going off manufacturers weight specs.
