I am glad it is sold. But I was wondering if it was a typo on the weight. I think you said it weight 7 pounds 8,5 ounces with scope and rings. Cz site says the bare gun weighs 7.5 pounds. I was wondering which was correct. If your weight is right then I think I may go with a varmint. I was thinking if the bare gun weighed 7.5 pounds then scoped out it would be closer to 9 pounds which is heavier than I wanted. Let me know.
