[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 2543853, member: 33159"] I've got a Christensen Arms in 338 Lapua. Only weighs 7.1 lbs bare. Put a NF ATACR on it, so it's basically 10 lbs and well balanced. Shot the mountain goat in my profile photo with it on Kodiak Island. Had a 7 hour "Bataan Death March" hike in high winds and rain into what became base camp and the rifle was never an issue as far as weight was concerned. It's a tack driver. Only issue for me with the rifle is the chamber has really tight tolerances. I had to neck turn all my Lapua brass but not any of my Nosler brass. I was getting sticky and hard to extract brass on any of my reloads even though I was below pressure. Neck turning cured that as well as changing to Nosler brass [/QUOTE]
