What does your sheep gun weigh?

[DXHI]

I have one now with all of the parts at the gunsmith.
I didn't do my research very well appropriately and I think I'm going to overshoot my target weight by 1.5 -2lbs..
If I calculated right ..then I'm going to be at 9lbs ..
I was shooting for 7.5

Looking to see where this falls in average with everyone else's

My Cooper 52 in 300 win mag I took up to Gana River on my only sheep hunt to date was 8# 13.7 oz including scope and rings. Was a backpack hunt, not horseback. Not sure what kind of pack you have/will get, but this strap I think was a big help in keeping me from even noticing the weight of my rifle.

Slick rig Joel--do you do that action in left hand?

 

[memtb]

Joel, a beautiful hunting tool! What does she weigh, scoped, fully loaded, and slung.....as if in your hands on a hunt! Also, what cartridge are ya running? memtb

 

[Joel Russo]

This is the Apollo Lite action and I make it in left hand.
I'm waiting for an NX8 to arrive to assemble and get hunt ready weight.
This particular rifle is chambered in 6.5 PRC, and is wicked accurate.

That's beyond impressive! Fantastic shooter......and the rifle ain't bad either! memtb

And they say light rifles won't shoot well at distance. Well it probably has a lot to do with the shooter also. Nice rifle and pretty impressive shooting.

Oucha, 1.5-2 lbs is a big miss.....but it is what it is. 9 lbs isn't the end of the world if that's the all up weight (sling, rounds, scope etc). Depends on where you're hunting and how you're getting around.

I take it your hunt is this fall, if so where at and is it guided and how are you getting around? There's a lot of sheep hunts that I'd gladly carry a "all up" 9 lb gun and there's more than a few that I wouldn't care to.
