The rifle was weighed on my smith’s digital scale, had to call him to get weight as he wrote it down with other details so he could replicate it. His scales weighed the rifle at 5 pounds 11 ounces the way it sets right now. I should’ve led with that information I guess. The scope is a Vari-x 3 1-4, which weighs around 9-10 ounces. That should put rifle at 5 pounds, which I’ve never weighed the bare rifle on a set of good scales.
