Didn't mean to rush you. Saw too late that you had just postdd it. That is sweet. Do you know what she weighs? Mine weighs 5lbs 12oz. It’s a stainless fluted bolt model though. Hopefully that helps. That makes sense. 5.12 + 12.6 in scope and 4 on talleys. Puts it just over 6.12 Check your math, 5lb 12 oz is actually 5.75lbs. Total weight would be closer to 6 3/4 lbs. Still a nice light rifle.

I've owned a couple of "poor man" NULAS that I liked better than the real ones. One started life as a 270 that I had Melvin convert to a 7x57. I still regret selling that one! donsm70
