All joking aside, it will vary by caliber and barrel length.
22" vs 24"

Interesting... On their website the 300 win mag superlite shows 6lbs even.
Same barrel length. 300 should be less then 6.5
I'm betting they are listing weight for a 22" barrel.

have you calibrated your scale?
I say this jokingly but also as someone who designs/builds/calibrates aerospace tooling for a living it could be your scale vs their scale. The claimed weight could also not have been taken on a certified scale. You're talking a difference of 8 oz and there's a difference between accuracy and resolution of measurement equipment.

8oz is half a pound decent amount I feel no?
Well for starters Sportsman’s Warehouse says 5.9 lbs, which is 5 lbs 14.4 oz.
According to the manufactures website I guess it’s lighter then it should be.
not sure why sportsman says 5.9

Guess I’ll send the bolt out to get fluted. Hopefully loose half an oz
5.9lbs is 5lbs 14.4oz
i'd guess a 308 with the 22" barrel hits that mark.
smaller bore and 2" more of barrel will be 3 oz easily.

Based on some crude math the barrel weight difference between a 6.5 and a 308 of the same length is about 2 oz. Add to that the additional other weight of going from 22 to 24 and there's your overage.
