[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 1815732, member: 32631"] I had the same thing happen to me. My favorite rife to hunt with a Rem mod. 700 in 300 Rum. Has a VX6 4x24x52 on it. Was 10.5 lbs. with factory sporter barrel. Not counting bipod. I had a new 28 in. Bartlien barrel put on it. I cant remember if Palma or Sendero conture but heavy. Bigger recoil lug. A bastard break. Trued action and cerrakoted. It now weighs 13.0 pds. I wont be packing it around in the mountains anymore ! I bought a C.A. Ridgeline in 6.5 PRC. Rifle 6.3 pds.. Put a VX6HD 4x24x52 on it. I dont remember exactly but it's 8.5 pounds. It's very easy on my shoulder :) [/QUOTE]
