Thats light. IMPRESSIVE

 

[Pa.Frank]

Let me put it this way..... the first hour of the hunt its as light as an M1carbine, by the end of the day, its heavier than a BAR!

If you could use a vehicle to transport you gun and other gear to within say 100 feet from where you set up to hunt (long range), would the weight of your gun be as important to you?
What makes you think that there arent lots of people who do that?

Exactly! A few years ago I bought a Can-Am side by side to replace my older ATV and my plan to to ride the SxS near to my hunting spot, hide it and start calling! I plan on taking both 22-250's in my RV, then using the one that fits my hunting spot. I'd rather use the Remington varmint rifle but the Tikka is light enough and still gives me about 3/4 inch groups, so it'll depend on the circumstance on which rifle I use! Haven't found the time to go coyote hunting yet but it helps put me to sleep thinking about it instead of counting sheep!

WOW 75 AND STILL GOING THATS AMAZING.

77 now but almost 78! The desire doesn't stop but the ability does! Just got to be adaptable! The antelope in my picture was 13 years ago! Got him at 286 lasered yards with my 6 pound 257 Ackley and now I've got him on my wall!

Mine are 9 lbs up to 26 lbs

26 WOW

I have a couple lightweights coming at 8 lbs for a 22 creedmore and 8.5 for a 300 WSM. Both scoped and a muzzle brake on the 300. I've had a number of lighter guns but find the 8 lb range and up easier for me to maintain accuracy.

 

[justinp61]

The two I carry the most are 9lb 4oz each with no ammo.

 

[nhenry]

8 lbs 12.2 oz ready to hunt according to my kitchen scale. Will be lighter with new rings soon.

 

[ARlife4me]

I don't have any listed as hunting, but all are for hogs, yotes and p-dogs. AR15 @ 3# 8ozs (223wylde 16") and AR10 @ 5# 5ozs (20" 308win)

 

[cohunt]

Got a 30-06 bolt @ 6.8 pounds got a 5.8pound 308AR, but my most accurate are 8.5-9.5 pounders 7rm and 300rum

 

[std7mag]

Depends on which rifle.
7.3lbs scoped with sling to 14.0lb scoped, no sling.

I have 2 Rem 700 KS Mountain rifles. Both have been rebarreled with SS tubes that were contour matched to the original barrel. The .30-06 is wearing a Ziess Conquest 3x-9X40, the 28 Nosler is wearing a Leupold 4.5x-14 CDS 30mm and it has a 25" barrel instead of a 24" like it came with. Both weigh a couple ounces less than 8lbs ready to hunt.

 

[Jcook02]

My lightest is 9 lbs., but the one I use exclusively is 11.5 lbs. I will go with a heavier barrel next time and will move to a 28", instead of a 26".
