As is with Leupold M-8 3x scope and all,it weighs 7lbs 12ozs. It has Weaver bases and Leupold QRW (Quick Release Weaver) rings.

If'n I don't buy a .416 Rem/Dakota/Taylor/Rigby.

Not often, you are more likely to get run over by a bus but the results are similar. I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

When some of the locals get stomped the news doesn't travel far because it is a common occurrence.
