A nine and half pound 30-30 with no loading gate kind of turns me off the modern Henry rifles.
Ouch. How about the steel receiver versions? Website shows 7 lbs for those. Wouldn't want bright brass on a hunting rifle anyway.
They feel a lot heavier than seven pounds but I can't say as though I've ever put one on a scale to see. But if the few I've held weighed seven pounds then a Marlin 336 weighs about four and a half.
