Not mine, but have one like it (see below). Comes in under 6.5 lbs. scoped with LWs and 2-7 Leupy.



I was gonna recommend the same thing but you beat me to it!

The rifle alone weighs 5 lbs 10 ounces. Add 2 oz for Talley lightweights and 9 ounces for a Leupy 4X and you're looking at 6 lbs 5 oz all up, for $599 delivered to the dealer of your choice by a uniformed official of the government of the United States of America.

'Course, I do have a fiduciary interest in the recommendation... wink

Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
