There are always discussions and speculation on what certain rifle/stock/scope combinations weigh.
I weighed some of my rifles tonite and made a list.
Scale used is a Japanese made HOMS Model 10 Instrument & Laboratory spring scale.
Here's what I found, listed from light to heavier.
I thought this might be of some use to guys planning a custom rifle build.
Or you can weigh yours and tell me my scale is out to lunch.
All weights are with rings, bases and scope, no slings or ammo
