Those are great rifles buckmastr. My dads got one in 7x57 that I really like.

I have the same Mountain Rifle in 280 with a VXI 3-9X

Some of this weigh data given in above posts would actually include having the rifle rigged for hunting?

Sights, bases, rings and scopes. Mags or mag well fully charged with chambered load, scope protection pieces and a sling? Possibly with spare "bullits" on sling or rifle?

It is a great rifle to carry all day. That weight also includes a butler creek mountain sling.

I recall the Remington 700 ti being 5 lbs 4 oz in a short action bare...I could be mistaken though.

I completely dropped the ball years ago when there was a used Ti in 270 on the rack at Chilcotin guns. As I recall it was way under a thousand bucks. That was really stupid.

I have the same Mountain Rifle in 280 with a VXI 3-9X

That’s a pound difference.

 

[todbartell]

Bucky must be using them polymer lens prototype scopes on his rifles!

 

[Techball]

Montana 7mm-08, VX2 3-9, a lovely 6lb 2oz. My favourite rifle.

 

[Techball]

For reference is a Remington 700 Mountain with VX-II 3-9

 

[ShrtRnd]

I think my Mountain SS in 06 and a VX3i 2.5-10 and Talley Lows just around this weight. Have been considering a Wildcat Composite Stock, which should drop it to mid 6lbs or so.

For reference is a Remington 700 Mountain with VX-II 3-9
