The weight difference etc etc, Yes the Steyr Classic Mannlicher is about 1/2# heavier than the Tikka T3X 6.5CM. The real difference is in how they feel. The Tikka is OK, but I have to move around a bit to get the perfect sight picture. The Steyr is like a magic wand, perfect shotgun fit. Sight picture snapping to the shoulder is right now. I can put up with the weight difference.
