They will most likely vary with wood density but as an example of one, my SA Featherweight with WSM barrel channel was right at 30 ounces. That includes the recoil pad and sling swivel studs.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

I have one off a .308. I'll weigh it this afternoon when I get home.

Thinking to use one of these for a M70 LH. I suppose the barrel channel could be opened up to accomodate a standard sporter barrel. Can anyone surmise how the balance might be affected if the standard sporter barrel was trimmed from 24 to 23 inches?
The way life should be.

There are long action magnum “featherweights” with standard sporter contour barrels cut at 24 inches. They balance well to me, but I’m not big on azz-heavy rifles.
