Decided to find out, Mr. Zipper. My 1903 is 6lb-11.6 lb.....more than I would have guessed. To be honest, I think M-Ss handle so well, you just think they're lighter than they really are.

I put the 4X Hensoldt scope in claw mounts back on it and the weight went up exactly 1 lb.

Someone asked about M600s weight. It is a Mohawk so it has the heavy barrel, not the slim one of the original M600, and, it has the replacement bottom metal. It is basically the same weight as the scoped Mannlicher-Shoenauer.
