How much does your LRH rifle weigh?

[Len Backus]

I'm going to start a Poll on this topic but sometimes I like to first have a thread with the same question to help me zero in on what the Poll reply choices should be.

So, let's define it this way.

1. With rifle only, no scope, no mounts, no sling, no ammo and no bipod.
   
2. Same as above but add in scope and mounts.

List the CARTRIDGE, too please.

After I get a clear look at the range of answers, I'll start an official Poll on the same topic.

 

[Kevin Cram]

338-408 Chey-Tac

1.) 18.25 lbs no optics

2.) 19.5 lbs. with optics

 

[royinidaho]

Rifle 1:

270 Allen Magnum
12 lbs w/scope and bipod.
10.4 lbs w/o Scope and Bipod

Rifle 2:

375 Allen Magnum
18.6 lbs w/scope and bipod
14.9 pounds w/o scope and bipod
15.99999 pounds w/out bipod and brake which is the way it will always be seenlightbulb

Kevin, what optics are you using? The 32oz 56mm NXS and the 16 lb Idaho limit are killin' me but keeping life exciting.

 

[J E Custom]

50 BMG M82 A1 weighs 32 Lbs without the scope and bipod

My 338 RUM weighs 12.5 lbs without scope.

30/378 13.2 lbs no scope.

300 RUM 9.3 lbs no scope.

7mm RUM 8.0 No scope.

Hmmm ... don't know and I'm not changing the configuration to find out. How about asking the weight of the rifle as it is employed in the field?

Too many unknown variables.

Hey Len, I get the feeling your about to cost a lot of guys a lot of money!

 

[venom600]

300 RUM Sendero SF II
- Huskemaw scope
- Tally rings
- Quake sling
- Stoney Point Rapid Pivot bipod

Naked: 8.5 lbs
Dressed: 10.5-11 lbs

 

[LouBoyd]

Too many unknown variables.

What possible use is it to know just the bare rifle weight and cartridge name?

How about:
typical terrain
typical wind conditions
typical shooting distance
typical carry distance
barrel specs
bullet specs
brake specs
typical game ( elk or prairie dogs)
typical transport (feet or jeep).
typical shooting style (offhand, bipod, bench).

To me rifle weight only indicates the practicality of carrying a rifle, and even that depends on the terrain. Of my various rifles weight says little about their useful range or accuracy or even delivered energy.
