How heavy is your main hunting rig?

Seems like a lot of guys are running them between 8-9lbs. Guess I should just suck it up princess and carry on!

My bastardized 91-30 scout rifle weighs 9 lbs on the dot with a Harris bipod and a 2-7 hilux scope.

My Rem700 in 30-06 weighs in just under 9 lbs with a full magazine and sling and an older Bushnell 3-9x40.

I'm in the process of collecting parts for a new deer rifle that will mimic my target rifles in feel and appearance. 700 short action, McMillan carbon fiber game Hunter stock. 22" carbon fiber sendero contour barrel, Talley lightweights,and a Leopold vx3. Should come in under 7.5lbs. I know it's not the lightest out there but decent for a target style "heavy" barrel rifle.

Without the sling or mag/ammo, my axis weighs around (or just under i think?) 7.5lbs. I need a better scale though, can't get the most precise answer from my luggage scale lol

Edit: with 4rds in the mag and the sling, it comes in it 8lbs 3.5oz.

Kimber montana in 300wsm with a vx3 4.5-14x40 on talleys sitting at 7lbs unloaded, a nice weight for the 300, not too sharp off the bench and nice to carry all day in the hand or on the shoulder/pack.
I've also got a Montana in 338wm that comes in at 6.5lbs, barrel is cut at 20" with irons. It's punchy but a pleasure to carry. Shoots pretty well with the irons and the short barrel too.

14 1/2 lbs loaded. It's a workout to hump it in the bush.

How does that come to 14.5 lbs? That seems way heavy for that set up?

Browning A bolt in 7mm with a 3x9 x 50mm scope comes in at 10lbs even. It's getting a tad heavy to slug around nowadays, but it is a very nice rifle to shoot.
