[QUOTE="Mark37082, post: 2421669, member: 120066"] I ran the numbers and came in at 8.3 lbs with the published weights of the components without suppressor or bipod. I realize it is tough to get to 8.5 and probably will go north of that number in ready to hunt weight. I have a light 308 (around 8 lbs ready to hunt) and a 7RM (around 12 lbs). The 308 feels like a feather compared to the 7RM. I really like the idea of suppressed as my ears have really been through too much over the years. However, I don’t like the weight and length issues associated with the suppressor. Life is full of compromises. That is why perfection is almost impossible to achieve. [/QUOTE]
