[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1188550, member: 21446"] It weighs 4.46 pounds. You could lighten it up a bit more with a tactical lite butt stock and save 4oz. It would save a few more oz if you went with a carbon fiber hand guard. I called manners a month ago and they don't inlet carbon stocks for this receiver anymore and mc millian does not either but I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find one. Maybe brown precision, MPI, Proof research? When I have my 338 AM rebarreled I'm going to use Kirbys lighter barrel contour. If I can find someone to build me a custom lightweight stock for this rifle I'm going to have it finish around 12.5 lbs bipod and all, it sits at 19.5 lbs now. I might not be able to shoot a cartridge like this on such a light platform at the level of accuracy I'm hoping for but, there is only one way to find out.gun) [/QUOTE]
