Isn’t the only difference between the T3X and the T3X Super Lite is the fluted barrel? Probably, the T3X superlite is still a good shooter, even though it has a lighter barrel....: My 6.5 creed today: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/TInieXz.jpg) Finally popped that mother fu ckers sub moa cherry...

The difference in weight is about half a beer, or a brief piss.

My T3x SL 30-06. Granted it did have a fluted bolt when I weighted it. ![[Linked Image]](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190828/bb60b91e54bf98a47c9af2796e52342e.jpg)

I weigh all my rifles in the same manner. I pick them up and say to myself "self, that's what that weighs". And when I'm wondering how much heavier/lighter one is versus another, I just pick up the two rifles, one in each hand and say to myself, "self, that's the difference".

Tikka T3 Superlight 243win originally sold by Bass Pro (BP called theirs ' light ' rather than 'lite'). Black barrel and receiver. Weight incl magazine but no scope mounts or sling = 6 lb, 0.7 oz.. I think the T3X models are a little heavier.
This was disappointing, since the gun has a big label that says "5.8 #". So, it was 3.9 oz heavier than I expected. Almost a quarter pound.
It was supposed to be 4 oz lighter than my Walmart/Winchester, exactly where I wanted to be. Instead it's heavier. Pffft. I did some research on weight reductions and it's not promising.
Then I saw a used Kimber Montana in 243...
