[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 1546734, member: 33915"] Tika's, Kimbers are pretty light weight. The gun I just bought, in a Browning X-bolt Hells canyon is fairly light at 6lbs 10 oz and is a magnum caliber (28 Nosler) but light for a magnum for sure considering it's one of the heavier Hells canyon models. The Browning X bolt Hells canyon models are beautiful guns to shoot and hold. They feel lighter than they really are. They have a protective finish that protects the metal from the elements which is another thing to consider while your sitting in the rain. The recoil pad is second to none.
