How much does that 26" barreled rifle weigh with what scope?

For a rifle I carry the Featherweight size is ok and for 'magnums' with long barrels that I don't carry far then more weight is tolerable.

I have magnums in heavier rifles which are optimum.

Another optimum rifle is the Kimber Montana 7mm WSM which should run with a 280 ai shooting 168's.

It's not easy to believe the pressures with the smaller 280 case are good as it's capacity is less than the WSM's.

Mine weighs 7#, 4oz with it's 4-12 Leu.
