My Ruger No. 1 in 303 British also has a fixed 6x (a Leupold) & weighs 3,639 grams. So this little Browning 1885 is 17 grams lighter than my #1A while having a slightly longer barrel. Of course shooting an older style Malcolm scope is a bit like looking through a straw with a narrow field of view but where I hunt, it's kind of a fun rifle to take out during primitive season. It's slender & feels small compared to my big Winchester 1885's with their 28" octagon barrels.
