My first gen SS Mountain Guide goes 5 lb 10 oz on my trigger scale, no scope or mounts. Anyone else weigh theirs? I'm not so sure the Mountain SS short action is really 6.5lb, same as the long action? Or did Remington/ Bell and Carlson change something?
As much as I love my Montana 8400 WSM I can't seem to like the feel of the 84s. Though if a 338 Federal came along for the right price I'd have to try to like it!
I'd shop around for a first gen Mountain Guide, should be able to find one for around $700-$800. I missed one on GB a while back. They are often not labled as Mountain Guides and were a limited run so there are not many around.
