Very nice!! It’s all a sliding scale. Compared to my rifle above yours is over 50% heavier wink Compared to my 7 wsm chassis rifle with 27” barrel and 7-35 NF aim it yours is almost 4 pounds lighter.

That said I have a 300 wsm tikka in the same stock as yours and it is 8.2 pounds with a NF 4-16 on it as well.

Light is relative as this 6.5 cm above was legit 3 pounds 9 oz before optics and 4.4 pounds scoped so like I said it’s all a sliding scale. smile
