Is there a prize for the correct guess??

Mine is a guestimate, everything is mounted so I have nothing loose to weigh. But, I'd guess the Talley LWs somewhere around 4 or 5 ounces depending on height. 2-Piece steel around an 1/8 pound or so heavier, maybe 6 or 7 ounces, and 1-piece steel maybe a 1/4 pound heavier, 8 or 9 ounces. Just a guess though. I'd expect the Redfields to run the same weight range as Leupolds.
