I thought the Mannlicher Scout was 6.6 pounds WITHOUT scope rings or scope ? http://www.steyrarms.com/products/hunting-rifles/scout/ Also dont see the sling listed in the weight . Dont see any iron sights either. Add at least 2 ounces for sling(simple 1 inch webbing tied to rifle,say 12 ounces for scope,2.5 ounces for rings and rifle is now at over 7.5 pounds. And the so called stainless version (stainless barrel really as I believe the reciever is made of a type of aluminum, will weigh a tiny bit more (2 ounces guessing) About $1400.00 (looked at Buds Gun shop pricing only ) Not what I would be interested in but to each his own !

With your previous comments and then the cutesy hater sign, I figured you thought that it was an azzhole contest and you were going all out to win first prize. Someone said it earlier. They (everything mentioned here) are all factory rifles and some are good and some aren't, no matter who makes them. Someone who has had a problem with one or two makes of rifles generally likes to try to convince the internet that he knows something that other people don't. That's rule number one in an azzhole contest if you're a serious competitor. It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am. ΜOΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ μολὼν λαβέ

Remember when this conversation would have been remington, winchester and browning? Now we're talking about lots of choices. Also love this forum, because of the comments on subjects. Still chuckling from this thread.
