Made it home and weighed the rifle…..7.4 lbs on my scale and it balances 1/2” or less in front of the front action screw.

I normally figure about an ounce per inch of barrel but on this it’s probably closer to two. And then six to eight ounces off with the fluting and a couple for the stock and it gets you there.

Thanks for removing my temptation! I've been looking at this thinking how I could swing it when I just dumped 2K into a Steel Challenge 22 carbine.
