I'd think it wouldn't bother me in the store, but after a few hunts I'd get un-enamored with it. I'd either go for the featherweight or find a NIB featherweight deluxe that they made for a few years. In addition to the weight I wouldn't want the 24" barrels (270 & 300 WSM) or the 26" barrel on the 7mm rem mag. The featherweight versions would come 2" shorter.



The short action supergrades are 22 inch bbls, but two inches has never bothered me.

I carry close to 20 pounds plus on my belt at work every day, a 9 pound rifle doesn't bother me
