Im working on an all purpose rig. It weighs 15.7 lbs so far and i think its ganna get heavier when my Mcmillan A4 gets here..... Is 15.7 way high compared to what you guys are sporting?
 
Re: Whats your rifle weigh

I started out with a 17lb gun. Each gun I've gotten since has weighed progressively less and less. I'm trying to keep my next 308 rig under 8 excluding scope. Portability and handiness are just under accuracy in my hierarchy of important features now.

Got a 15lb 7mm saum, 7lb magnum size barrel 7mm saum, and am working on an 8-10lb 6.5CM with Bartlein #3 heavy sporter barrel and with either HTG or A3 stock...

Depends on the fill... EDGE Tech, Standard, Magnum, Sniper (These are in order of lightest fill to heaviest for a McMillan)
 
Re: Whats your rifle weigh

Let me see, the ones in my sig are currently 7.5, 12, 7, and 10.5lbs respectively. I recently picked up another Savage and screwed on a 25" heavy sporter contour barrel, that one weights about 8lbs with a scope.
 
Re: Whats your rifle weigh

My 7mm saum is 19.7 with a loaded mag.

30" hv Krieger
bushnell hdmr
mcree folder
ross brake

Im sure it will be well over 20# when my us optic 5-25 gets here

The 308 is 18.9 empty

28" hv Krieger
ior 6-24x56
mcree folder
ross brake


My next one will be under 15lb for sure
I love mine but they are only good for prone and bench shooting.
 
Re: Whats your rifle weigh

Surgeon RSR action
26" medium Palma barrel, 260 caliber
Seekins bottom metal w/ AICS mags
McMillan A5 stock, standard fill
Premier 5-25 scope, aluminum rings

14.75 lbs. This is comfortable for positional shooting, and is easy to lug around. For strictly prone shooting, more weight would not be a problem.
 
Re: Whats your rifle weigh

My rig now is running just under 15 lbs. As soon as my McMillan ships I'm building up a .308 that will weigh in right at 18 lbs.
 
Re: Whats your rifle weigh

I had John Whidden build a .300WM rig that would be light enough to hunt with, but still let me punch paper long range. He used my Rem 700 action, bolt, and trigger (old style), put on a Hart 26" stainless light Palma contour with Vais muzzle brake, his custom WCW 140 target style stock, EGW aluminum 20 moa base, and Nightforce Ultralite rings. Weighs a tad under 11 lbs (bathroom scale), sans scope. If I had chosen his hunting style stock, I could have saved about a pound and a half if my memory serves correctly. It's light enough to hunt with, but I wouldn't choose it to go up and down mountains. I've shot it in 100+ F temps where the barrel was too hot to touch, and it still held 1/2 moa out to 300 yds. Just waiting for the opportunity to stretch it out.

16lbs for my AR-10 without a magazine which adds around a pound and a half.

My new bolt gun is gonna be probably at least that if not more in the 18lb range I wont know till it gets back from crescent customs.
