Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Bolt Actions Weights?

Is there a list of different Bolt Actions and how much the weigh?

When you start comparing action weights, you also need to consider the type of bottom metal, or lack there of. Light weight aluminum BM's will weigh 4 to 6 ounces less than the factory steel BM's. Going ADL style will save some additional weight.

One of the well known gunsmiths (can’t remember which one) used to have several listed on his website but the link was bad last time I looked for it. As noted above it can be hard to get apples to apples depending on what one defines as “the action”.

Personally I consider it to be the entirety of the rifle except the barrel, stock and scope/rings (so action, bolt, firing pin and related components, trigger, bottom metal, screws, lug)

But if you go adl or dbm that changes things as noted above

Used to be on Brown Precision’s website

Yep. It used to be posted under something like "choosing components"....its no longer there.

Here's a list I copied from a user's post on another website.....I'm not sure how accurate it is:

Rem 700 short ADL 2lbs 3.5oz
Rem 700 short BDL 2lbs 4oz
Rem 700 long ADL 2lbs 6.5oz
Rem 700 long BDL 2lbs 7oz

Rem 600 1lb 15oz
Rem 788 2lbs 11oz
Rem 7 2lbs 2oz
Mauser Mark X 2lbs 15oz
Sako medium 2lbs 5oz
Sako long 2lbs 13oz
Ruger short 2lbs 6oz
Ruger long 2lbs 8.5oz
Win 70 2lbs 10oz
Weatherby Vangaurd long 2lbs 13oz
Weatherby Mark V 3lbs 3oz

Looks like the very same list. Good snag.

Nice list!

Now does anyone have have Tikka T3 and all the different Howa action weights?
