I have searched and found rifle weights but I can not find one thread specific to this.

What does your LR (+ - 1000yds) hunting rifle weigh set up and ready to hunt? I realize 500yds is long range...but I am interested in the hunting rifles that are built for at least 1000yds. Please specify what it has and what it weighs on a actual calibrated scale.

Mine: 10.42 lbs
300 RUM
700 Rem Stainless Action
Rem Trigger
Lilja #3 Stainless at 26"
Magna Port "Magna Brake"
HS Precision Sporter Stock
Harris 13-23 Non Swivel Bipod
Buttler Creek Neoprene Sling
Leupold Standard Bases/Rings
Leupold Vari-X III 6.5x20x42 W/Target Turrets
4 rounds 190gr loaded cartidges.
 
stock savage 110 fcp hs in 338 Lapua
nightforce rings
vortex bubble level
Leupold mark 4
caldwell bipod
sling (not sure what brand)
while loaded with 5 round box mag 14.2 pounds
 
Defiance 338 Norma 26'' braked Saturn ABS Lonewolf Summit,stock pack 6-20x50 Leo Mark 4,level,ACI Safari sling & 3 rnds=9-1 oz. w/Atlas on QD=9-14 OZ.
 
11 1/4 lbs without the scope. Zeiss Conquest 6-20

Will you give some specifics on what it is, and include the scope and ammunition in the total weight? Would be helpful to others when looking to build or consider weight for their rifle ready to hunt and pack around.
 
Savage stainless single shot, 338 edge, choate tactical "A5" stock, elite 4200 6-24x50md harris bipod. 13.5 lbs..........but it is so well balanced that carrying it is pretty much the same as packing my 8.5lb tikka t3 light fully equipped.
 
Rem 700 short action trued and modified to feed the WSM
PT&G bolt with M16 extractor
Seekins bottom metal with DBM. This one is a 5 rnd. I have a 3 rnd on order
Hart #5 SS barrel at 26" with 1 in 10 twist
Holland QD brake
Oversize recoil lug
Jewell trigger at 2.5lbs
McMillan HTG with wheel adjustable cheek, and 4 flush cups
Pillar bedded
Leupold 20moa base with Mk4 rings. Base is bedded with epoxy.

Weight is 12lbs without the bipod
