[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2309064, member: 94491"] I have a 5.6 pound 30-06 ( with full pic rail but no optics or rings) It started life as a rem700 mountain rifle-- the big weight loss was with the stock. My cf stock weighs 19 ounces . I don't use a bipod- I use my backpack, rock, stump, or tree. I use lightweight rings and a leupy 3-9 ultralight scope to keep it light at just over 6.5 pounds. Lighter weight stocks, barrel profiles, and optics seem to get you the most bang for the buck. Titanium can drop more weight but eats into the wallet real quick. But lightweight rifles have more recoil so you must train more to learn how to handle the muzzle rise on a lightweight build-- brakes can be effective and help too. [/QUOTE]
