Sorry, I did miss adding the stock on the list, it was supposed to be under the trigger guard there.
The scope (3-10x42) is advertised at 12.7oz. The 3-9x36 is 12oz and a Leupold 2.5-8x36 is 11.4oz. My only real option of saving some more weight in the scope is a vx2 2-7x33 at 9.9oz
More metal needs to come off.
I don’t run slings as I hate them. I carry the rifle in hand or its strapped to my pack.
What critters, at what distances? 1.5-5x20, closer to 9 oz?
