[QUOTE="kmassaro, post: 55450, member: 2463"] Weights are as follows, thanks to Brown Precision. If you have a magnum contour barrel, add a few oz. Std Rem 700 BDL in 270 win Remington 700 long bdl 2 lbs 4 oz Standard contour bbl 2 lbs 13 oz Stock 2 lbs 5 oz* std 3x9 with leupold mounts 1 lb total 8 lbs six oz Stock weight taken by subtracting action and barrel weight from published weight of rifle. Now, let's put it on a diet Remington 700 long bdl w/ aluminum follower and light firing pin 2 lbs 1 oz #1 contour barrel,22" 1 lb 13 oz Glass stock 1 lb 4 oz Leupold 2x7 compact with light mounts 11 oz total with scope 5 lbs 13 oz add 3 oz for cartridges, and voila, 6 lbs. Note, with a light MPI or Lone Wolf stock, you can get the stock weight down to a pound with pad. But a pound and a quarter is easily reasonable. Mine's an old Garrett accur-light, at 20 oz, but I don't think they even exist any more. Weights for action and barrels are from the Brown Precision website. [/QUOTE]
