azshooter: I finally got around to weighing the rifle to answer your question. The rifle with scope and mounts, but no ammo and no sling, weighs 8.2 pounds.

for all: I finally got to the range with the rifle yesterday. Attached are two representative groups, one with Winchester Supreme factory ammo with 130 grain bullets fired by my son Jeff. The other was from a box of my favorite .270 handload consisting of 130 grain bullet, 59.5 grains of H4831, once fired Norma brass, and a Federal 210 primer. This came from a box that I loaded probably twenty years ago. I've been a bit lax in my reloading duties lately. Anyway, I fired the group and it is about as good as I am capable of shooting anymore. At my age, those teeny-weeny groups I used to shoot are a thing of the past I'm afraid.

At any rate, it's a shooter as well as a fine looker.
