15.5 lbs for mine with scope.
I'll be going with light palma for the next barrel to maybe save a pound.

Re: Whats your rifle weigh
I started out with a 17lb gun. Each gun I've gotten since has weighed progressively less and less. I'm trying to keep my next 308 rig under 8 excluding scope. Portability and handiness are just under accuracy in my hierarchy of important features now.

Re: Whats your rifle weigh
Ready to shoot with a 28" HV17 barrel, McRee stock, and Harris bipod it comes in just a bit over 22lbs. I intended it to be heavy, so it will suck up some of the recoil.

Let me see, the ones in my sig are currently 7.5, 12, 7, and 10.5lbs respectively. I recently picked up another Savage and screwed on a 25" heavy sporter contour barrel, that one weights about 8lbs with a scope.

Surgeon RSR action
26" medium Palma barrel, 260 caliber
Seekins bottom metal w/ AICS mags
McMillan A5 stock, standard fill
Premier 5-25 scope, aluminum rings
14.75 lbs. This is comfortable for positional shooting, and is easy to lug around. For strictly prone shooting, more weight would not be a problem.

Re: Whats your rifle weigh
I had John Whidden build a .300WM rig that would be light enough to hunt with, but still let me punch paper long range. He used my Rem 700 action, bolt, and trigger (old style), put on a Hart 26" stainless light Palma contour with Vais muzzle brake, his custom WCW 140 target style stock, EGW aluminum 20 moa base, and Nightforce Ultralite rings. Weighs a tad under 11 lbs (bathroom scale), sans scope. If I had chosen his hunting style stock, I could have saved about a pound and a half if my memory serves correctly. It's light enough to hunt with, but I wouldn't choose it to go up and down mountains. I've shot it in 100+ F temps where the barrel was too hot to touch, and it still held 1/2 moa out to 300 yds. Just waiting for the opportunity to stretch it out.

Kilmore, How do you like the retractable butt? I have been trying to get a machinist to make me one like that for my own platform. Is it adjustable for length of pull?
