What does your long range hunting rifle weigh?

[bultinkle]

For rifles built to take game over 600, what are they finishing at?

All up, scoped, with a full magazine/box. As you carry it in the field.

This is for rifles built to talk game at long range, not for 3-400 yard game rifles. Pictures are welcome

Live in Alabama, long range here is 600 yards. Usually on power line cuts.

I have many rifles fully capable of taking game at 600+. They vary in weight from just under 9lbs scoped and suppressed to 12lbs. Average is about 10lbs +/-. I have gotten rid of most of my 15-16# rifles. They are zero fun to carry up mountains.

[Tiny Tim]

voting for with or without out scope mounted?

Field ready, if someone had a scale on the side of the mountain mid season

voting for with or without out scope mounted?

Well I have taken game at 600 yards- I almost never have time to mount my scope in the field.

I used to own a Japanese match lock muzzle loader. It weighed 16 pounds. You couldn't used the barrel to hammer in fence posts. If you wonder what happened to it someone with deep pockets wanted it. It was dated to between1575 and 1650 AD.
