[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1678510, member: 68875"] 9.5#s more than likely. But still plenty light to carry all over elk country. Here is mine, similarly set up. 9lbs 9oz scoped. R700 LA BDL 26" 1:8.5" Bartlein #3b fluted w. APA Micro Bast brake Manners EH2 pillar bedded Rem alloy BDL Timney Calvin Elite @ 8oz Seekins alloy 20MOA Picatinny rail Seekins alloy 34mm low rings S&B PMII 3-20×50 MTC/LT Vortex lo pro level There are a few more ounces to be lost here. Flute bolt-1oz, alloy bolt shroud-2oz, carbon fiber bolt knob-2oz I would definitely go with the Hawkins BDL since that is what the stock is cut for.
