[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1814555, member: 108965"] I guess mine are heavier than mentioned by other members, ypull eventually find out what works beat for you My 7mm-08's are 8.5 with scope and my 7mm Rem Mag is 9.5 lbs. Hunt mostly with the 7mm-08 since it's lighter and just 2" shorter, and I got a couple of loads that are good out to 500m, so dont need more. This is for Javelina Coues and Mulies, although sometimes the 7 Mag gets to get out as well. For Elk then I'd take the 7 Mag, can reach further and only 1 lb more of weight. I believe in finding a balance between light and heavy, weight helps accuracy whether shooting of a bipod or offhand, at least for me, cant shoot too good with light rifles [/QUOTE]
