Lightweight long-range rifle weights?

[Orange Dust]

My 28Nos weighs about 9-1/2 with a proof barrel and manners carbon stock, My RUM is over 10. Could trim it a bunch is I wasn't so intent on putting 2+LB scopes on them LOL

Didn't really set out for this to be a 1200 yard hunting rig. Just something lighter to carry for a long walk when shots farther than 600-700 yards are not anticipated.

Jumping in to follow along since I want to build something light off a savage action.

I hardly ever shoot off hand and it's barrel is a little long for stalk hunting but it should handle fairly quick and it's balanced how I like a rifle to be for shooting off hand.

Nice looking Savage! I guess lightweight is a relative term to each, but my Sav12FV 25 Creedmoor, bull barrel 26" , MDT Oryx chassis, 34mm optic is still "light" to me @14lbs. I pack transport.

I built mine for 400 and less on the mountains sheep hunting. Every pound counted out there i can promise you i was happy not carrying anything over 7.5 lbs

I have always hunted with a 10 lb - 12 lb rifle and have carried them with me up all kind of elevations.

Finally decided to build something a little lighter and ended up with this 28 Nosler that comes in at 8 lb 4 oz. fully scoped and ready to go. It feels great and I can think of several hunts where I would have appreciated a little less weight. Feeling like I have tons of distance capability here and, compared to what I typically carry, it feels super lightweight.
