[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1442266, member: 54178"] <-All weights with scopes-> 1. .300 Win. mag Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker-> 9 lbs. exactly 2. 6.5 CM Ruger American Predator -> 9 lbs. W/Boyd's Classic laminated stock, 8 lbs. exactly W/ Ruger plastic factory stock FOR COMPARISON: 6.5 CM Ruger Precision Rifle -> 15 lbs. exactly with Atlas bipod and CTK monopod (This "boat anchor" never goes hunting.) I am in the process of re-building my Savage 99C with Boyd's laminated stocks (fitting is a "beatch") and a new, slightly heavier octagonal barrel. With 3 -9 scope and mount I expect about 9 1/2 lbs. NOT a mountain rifle.;o) Eric B. P.S. Of course I could lose 10 more pounds of lard and carry the RPR - but why? The RAP is, amazingly, almost as accurate with either stock. [/QUOTE]
