[QUOTE="liltank, post: 355700, member: 13275"] It is actually a Mod 12 Low Profile. The dry weight is about 10 lbs. With scope puts it around 12lbs. It is kind of heavy and a dedicated field rifle. It will carry well with a comfortable sling. I have carried for a couple hours a few times and it isn't too bad. It will wear you down. I would have liked to have purchase the F/TR rifle, but just did not fit the budget. This rifle was never intended to be a carry rifle. They have come out with the new 11/111 Long Range Hunter. It comes with the Accu-Trigger, Accu-Stock, fluted barrel, muzzle break and a weight of 8.65 pounds. It has a 26" barrel to help boost muzzle velocity and maintain the ability to shoot long range. These two models also give you twist rates that help with stabilizing the longer heavy bullets necessary for long range accuracy.
