[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1138206, member: 30902"] Personally I would not want a barrel that heavy if it's a rifle you plan to carry. You're probably looking at well over 10lbs even without a scope and mounts. My Sendero's and VSSFII are right around 14, 14, and 12lbs if I remember right and my heavy 1999 with the long Med Palma barrel I think is right around 16lbs. If that barrel is stright (no taper) and basically 1" down it's full length it's probably going to come in somewhere between 12-14lbs but that's just a guess and of course that's figuring on 28" length. You can look at different barrel manufacturers spec sheets and they'll tell you the approximate weight per inch or finished lengths. For a rig you plan to carry, particularly in any kind of rough/steep terrain or for long pack in's I'd look at something no heavier than a standard bull magnum contour which finishes at about .75" at the muzzle. The sendero is about .825 and in equal length barrels the weight difference is noticeable. [/QUOTE]
