Depends on the density of the wood. Most weigh around 7-7 1/4 pounds.

Winchester Model 70 Classic Featherweight with Talley rings and bases with a Leupold 1.75-6X scope weights 8 pounds 5.3 ounces. The scope weighs 12 ounces so the rifle would weigh pretty close to 7.5 pounds including rings.

Depends on whether a standard caliblre or a magnum. Standards that i have weigh 6lbs 8oz and 6 lbs 10oz. a magnum weighs 7lbs 4oz. All without rings. Also as mentioned wood desity or moisture content plays a part.

Had two of them, both long action standard calibers. They both were right around 6lb 8oz. Both pieces of wood had some nice figuring and were not very dark coloured.
