Kenneth
The same rifle in different caliber/cartridge will NOT weigh the same.
I have a 6mm Rem, 270 Win, & 30-06 all in Rem Model Sixes.
The chamber length & dia makes a difference. More or Less metal. The bore size makes a difference. More or Less metal.
The 6mm Rem is noticeably heavier. The 30-06 is noticeably lighter.
The 270 is mid weight.
All Tikkas in DIFFERENT calibers will not weigh the same. I have 2.

Yep, Jerry's right you cant nail down the exact weight unless you know what the rifle is chambered for....Hb

Yup agree. All the Tikka's I've owned have used the same barrel contour. My 24" 300 win mag superlite was 5 lb 15oz, quite a bit lighter than my 6.5 Creed lite with the same barrel length.

If I really had my way, Lite Stainless in .260
And often heard the claims on accuracy from these rifles,
Are you all in agreement with that statement?

For comparison, my t3 superlite 260 weighs 7.48lbs bedded in a B&C with aluminum bottom metal/shroud, Warne rings and a 3-9x40 Meopro. It weighed 6.49lbs from the factory with the wood stock. It looks like the lite model you want starts at a similar weight. I know allot of folks like to set them up lighter but even mine is noticeably lighter than the average sporter weight rifle. No complaints in the accuracy department

For sure. I went from shooting 165’s to 130’s to cut down on weight. 😆

Talk about splitting some hairs! I’m still a bigger fan of the OG T3 over Superlite’s and T3x’s.

I don't have the weight of mine handy with the current scope, but my .308 SL in B&C stock with Talley lightweights and a Minox ZA5 1.5-8X32 weighed 7lbs. 3oz. It now wears a Meopro 3.5-10X44.
