As a matter of fact one of them is. The other is a Model 70 Classic Stainless. Both weigh about 8.5 lbs. And I don’t recall ever wishing I had a 6 or 7 lb rifle. I’m usually hunting. However if you need a 6 lb rifle, more power to you.
Need has very little to do with anything we, in America do these days.
But I prefer a sub-7lb rifle if I'm putting in the miles.
When I'm not, I've got some boat anchors I use too.
