Love the NULA, and Tikka Super Light both shoot bug holes, and both are a joy to carry. NULA is a 300 WM scoped vx3 4.5x14x 40 and the Tikka is in Talleys (16bore) fx2 6x42. They feel reel close to each other in wieght, but that will change when I get a set of 30mm Talleys and throw the SWFA 6x42.

I went through this same exercise a few months ago and I ended up buying a Tikka Hunter in 260 SS with a fluted barrrel. Weighed in at 6 lbs 1 ounce bare and 6 lbs 14 ounces with scope and Talleys.

I got it from Whitakers. Eric and I both weighed it.
Have not made it to the range just yet. Too many other projects going on right now. I did reload for it so I am ready!

Strange. I emailed Whitakers and asked them. They confirmed about 1 pound heavier than the superlite.

The Rem. design lacks strength. We used them for hunting and target shooting and they got by.
There always have been stronger designs that have the machinery look of having extra, pride in metal.
Can't you just feel the fatuousness emanating from this post? Is the spirit of Swampman lurking about?

If I knew at 25 what I know at 57.....
I would spend the necessary money and have a custom rifle built to my spec's and be done with it. Had I done so I would not have gone through 20+ rifles in 280 Remington looking for the one.
When I finally had a custom 280 AI built, my first thought was, I should have done this from the beginning. I have done the same thing. Hoping to have 2 perfect, to me, rifles before turning 50. 9 months away That is what I did. Borden 280 AI & Borden 300 WSM. It was very much worth the wait! It'll be over before you know it.

I am sure that is true on average but Eric found me the lightest one he could find. It was really cool of him to weigh some for me.

Balsa wood stock and the scope is filled with helium instead of nitrogen?

Can anyone tell me the weight of their SW T3 Super Lite? SL 7MM-08, VX3 3.5x10x40, DNZ mounts, 108 ozs = 6 lbs 12 ozs. Think naked it was just under 6 lbs. And it shoots:)

Yeah, I don't know why it's so light but it's solid. Hopefully I will get it out here in the next couple of week and get it shot in.

I will post on the classified section an approx 5 lb,right hand, NULA in 260 Rem within the next few days. 120 rounds down tube, 13.5" lop, 1-8" twist stainless #1 barrel, dark green with brown and black flecks on stock. 2014 built for me. I am moving to a heavier 6.5x47L. Going the opposite direction from many folks as I do not shoot an ultralight rifle as well as a heavier one. Have several dies and Lapua brass as well for the 260. Anyone that is seriously interested in this rifle, please PM me. I have toyed with selling this for a year. This gun went hunting for about 4 hours. All other shots were break-in and load development.
