Pretty darn heavy for a 357 when you add scope, cheek piece lace on rest, and sling. I like it, I know it will shoot but I'm getting too old to hump that much weight very far. (Yeah, hunters will bitch about a pound on the gun when they're 25 pounds overweight.)
I will decide between it (pretty but heavy) and my CVA Scout (ugly but light) on load out day.
Wish I'd had time to zero my NEF 45-70. It is both ugly and heavy.
