Thanks a lot BSA for the info. I changed how I was weighing the darn thing and found my results to be off. The rifle was really at 9.6lbs with the ammo sock on it. I took it off and got down to 8.4lbs.
I am going to go with the ammo wallet described earlier and going to be very happy with the set up again. I cannot help it I just love Winchesters. I have had to work on some to get them to shoot but from what I have seen from here that is not that strange. I am also expecting these rifles to shoot better than most will accept.
I need my rifles to be forgiving because I am just not that expert Marine Corp Sniper.
