Did you happen to weigh your 300 with scope, sling & ammo ?
I know you said it was -7lbs.
I'm really NOT in the market but I'm interested in its Dressed Hunting Weight.
I'm PERFECTLY satisfied with my T 3X 7 RM at 7 lbs, 9 oz.

It was 7.5 pounds with a 4X scope. I put a variable on it then which brought it closer to 8# but it was still too light for a .300 Win.
