[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2632284, member: 61747"] All of the chassis makers list their weights on their respective pages. My XLR is 2 lbs 1 ounce with carbon fiber grip, folder, and carbon fiber butt according to my scale. I think MDT is advertised as the lightest currently by a couple ounce but they are also 400-600 more, pick your poison I guess. I've had a pile of MDT chassis but the move to the xlr was money well spent especially since I paid 1050.00 and have a lot of time on it now. My rifle without the can is 8lbs 3.91 ounce with the TBAC brake. 8 lbs 14 ounces with TBAC ultra 7. I suppose a guy could remove the brake and maybe tap into the sub 8 lb range. For giggles I looked up the TL3 action weight at 28 oz vs a ti action at 18-19. So it appears if you go ti you can shave off .5 lbs on average using ti vs steel. Of course barrel material and contour are a huge variable factor. Chassis 32 oz scope 22 oz vx 6 or similar light hunter action 28-30oz TL3 bighorn Rings 3-5 oz Barrel 40 oz xcaliber carbon light varmint contour 18" Total 129 oz or 8lbs add bipod, mag, brake, can if you want.
