It's 6lbs without the optic, so around 7lbs with a scope. I think that hits a sweet spot of light enough to be handy and just heavy enough to be steady under stress.
The Model 7 is an offshoot of the Remington 600 series, which inspired Jeff Cooper's Scout Rifle concept. Strangely, all the factory Scout rifles available today weigh more than the 3kgs Cooper specified, while the Model 7 with a lightweight scope will hit the mark.
