[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1785797, member: 69478"] The SPS in factory form is about 7.7lbs. That’s with the flimsy stock from the factory. My Dad has an SPS Stainless in 7mm Rem Mag. He kept the factory stock but glass bedded it and stiffened it up some. He has a 5-20x50 Sightron on it and it weighs probably 10lbs with optic. I’ve never actually weighed it, but it’s not super light, but not unbearably heavy either. It’s hard to get a light rifle on a budget without going with a carbon or fluted barrel and a carbon or fiberglass stock like a McMillan, Manners, or Proof. B&C offers their Alaskan stock that’s a little over 2lbs and costs around $250-275. That would be the best option. It has a full length aluminum bedding block and would add probably 8-12oz to the factory stock, but is much stiffer and stronger. Remington long action mag boxes are around 3.700” from the factory, and I’m not 100% sure on Savage, but I think they are 3.550-3.600”. [/QUOTE]
