I've got 2 Marlin XS7s and a Tikka T3 Lite, all with Talleys and Monarch UCC 3-9x40s up top.

Marlin 7-08 - 7lbs 9oz
Marlin 22-250 - 7lbs 10oz
Tikka 25-06 - 7lbs 8oz

I don't own a RAR to compare with, but if it's a pound lighter, that's a seriously lightweight rifle.

Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.
