Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Preferred total rifle weight..

My version of perfection for when the going gets steep and the air gets thin.

Stainless synthetic 84M, 23” barrel just a little thicker than factory at .585” at the muzzle. 160gn bullet at 3050.

But to the question of weight: I’ve hunted with this in a lighter configuration (factory barrel), and heavier when wearing an 3-10 SHV scope, or 3-9 SWFA SS. Where it is now is a nice Mtn hunting weight, and balance.
