The web site says a Featherweight 30-06 will weigh 7 lbs. Add a scope and rings and a magazine full of shells and it will be well over 8 lbs. Hardly what I would call a "Featherweight"!
Back around 1980 or 1982 I had a Featherweight in .270 Win. Pulled the stock and substituted a Brown Precision stock. Then it became a featherweight. As a matter of fact I still have the Brown stock. Maybe I should look around for a Featherweight to put it on.
