What's your rig weigh

[Tikkamike]

What does your hunting rifle as you carry it weigh? I'm debating spending almost $700 to save 14 oz on my 375 rum. It's got a laminated stock and a fluted #5 28" benchmark. The rifle weighs 11 lbs 4oz as is.

You won't notice 14 oz off of an 11 lb plus rifle...imo.

 

[Laelkhunter]

My .340 Weatherby Mk V weighs 10.5 lbs with sling, 4 rounds of ammo, and that is with the Swaro Z5.

For a carry rifle 9lbs seems to have been about where I've always topped out.

For drives, and such that require quick handling 8 is better.

Like your .375 my .338 RUM weights a little over 11 pounds, that's my lightweight LR rifle. The other two weigh a few oz over 16 and 25.
If as stated previously you didn't notice the almost 1 pound carry difference, I'm curious as to the upscale difference in recoil with that .375.

If it's a shooter, I'd do it. 10 - 10.5 lbs is where I leave the rifle at the house, if the hunt involves a lot of carry.

My 338 lapua is right around 14 and some change. Building a slightly lighter LR 6.5 Sherman.

 

[HammerB1]

Most of mine seem to weigh around that 14 lb. mark. The older I get the more I have to start thinking about carrying something lighter.

 

[Timber338]

My 338 RUM with optics weighs 9lbs 6oz. I'm considering upgrading to the new Razor AMG and that would bring the weight up to just shy of 10lbs.

.260 AI, B&C Medalist stock, Harris bipod, Wyatts 5 round dbm, triad tactical stock pack with kestrel and spare 5 round mag, 30" Krieger medium palma, vortex 6.5-20.

13 lbs 7 oz, little much for a timber rifle ha ha but awesome for shooting prone all day...

My Cooper 520 in 6.5x284, fully laden weighs 10.5 pounds and balances well. For my physical build and style of hunting which is a combination of both carry and stationary settings, this is about as heavy as I want a long range hunting rig that doesn't handle like a crowbar. I still have sufficient weight to make a confident long range shot on game should the right opportunity present itself. Im 5'10', 180 pounds, and average build..........but not so young anymore.

Most all of my packing rifles range from 9 3/4lbs to 11lbs. I have several rifles up to 16lbs but they don't get carried in the hills. For me I like to stay sub 10.5lbs if I'm doing serious hiking. That is a Remington LA, #5 contour barrel 26" long plus brake, and a McMillan Game Scout or Manner EH1 (or similar weight stock) with a Leupold weight scope in Talley light weight mounts. That usually weighs 10-10.25lbs.
