My M85 Sako Finnlight 260 rem 1.5-5X VX3 with sling and ammo 6 pounds 13 ounces, I swapped out that scope for a 1-6 VX6 firedot and it is in at 7 pounds even-less ammo.
My M85 Sako Finnlight 308 win 3-9 VX2CDS is 7 pounds 1 ounce with ammo and sling.
I use leupold rings, and for the scopes I use, no issues. They are a couple/few ounces less than 2 piece optilocks. Both guns shoot almost anything under 1 moa. Great trigger, good ergonomics, easy to find a consistent accurate load and no drama. I am real happy with mine, I trust them.
