My M-98 "Guild Gun" in 8mm/06 has a 23 5/8" barrel, iron sights, steel military trigger guard, wooden stock, and steel butplate, and a Leupold Pioneer Scope. The entire package tips my Fed/Ex scales at a mere 6.7 lbs.

Trust me, this is waaaayyy too light for an 8mm/06! Which explains why I've never fired it... But it's on the list for load work-up this next summer...
