I have a stock Kimber Montana in .308 and with scope and rings its right at 96 oz. or 6 pounds.

I also have a Remington Model 7 in a McMillian Edge and even though there are 2" less barrel its right at 99-100 oz with a lighter scope and rings.

Bang for buck I'd go Kimber of Remington Model 7 but my dad gave me the model 7 14 years ago so I'd let the Kimber go over that rifle but only for sentimental value.
