Post your rifle setup including weight

[20-250]

Borden Alpine 6.5x47, fluted Bartlein number 3B in a McMillan Rem sporter stock. Again, by dasherman.
I refuse to weigh it with the Thermion on in case I start to make excuses and stop taking it out, so you Mr Egg can bugger right off.

Borden Alpine 243, Sunny Hill bottom metal, stainless bases custom made for Optilock rings, stock (if I remember correctly) is a Bell and Carlson which despite the bedding block I had pillar bedded. All work by Neil Mckillop. With the Meopta 6-18x50 it weighs in at 9lb 7oz.

Sensational

Tikka T3X Lite (Woodland Veil) in .308 - 4.2 kg/9lb 4oz loaded in stalking configuration:

That looks great with the fluting and the patterned stock.

Another T3x here; this also weighs in at 4.2 kg including loaded three-round magazine, moderator and bipod.

Sauer 202 Classic 30-06, standard 22" barrel.
Zeiss Classic Diavari 3-12x56*, Warne QD mounts and MAK steel picatinny rail.
4,6kg unloaded.

 

[20-250]

Tikka 595 All Weather, as the stainless sporter was marketed. Original factory barrel in 22-250.
Bolt fluted and pillar bedded into a McMillan Sako Hunter stock by Neil Mckillop. Leupold VX3 8.5-25x50 in Optilock bases and rings. 9lbs 14oz.

This thread’s identified a lack of a light weight stalking rifle in my collection and has me wanting to re-visit my youth. Anyone know where there’s a good Tikka M55 Trapper in .308? Variation in hand.

@wytonpjs
Details on the recoil-pad spacer? Looks very well-fitted, and certainly better than what Tikka offers.

Just weighed my old wood and blue Sako AV, mod, and (more than I need) scope at bang on 5kg/11lbs. I’ve never thought it heavy, but reading this thread it seems quite above average. Is 5kg a lump for a stalking rifle?

It’s coming in about average.

Peoples setup’s aren’t as lite weight as they think.

Get it on the scales pal.

15lb 6.5x55 sako 75 semi custom, and PMII. A bit heavy but worth it!

 

[JH83]

My woodland rifle, circa 10lbs all up. The weight isn’t all that important, it’s just nice and short for close combat

BSRC Class ‘B’ legal when I replace the steel bolt knob with a duplicate one in aluminium.

I have been out in freezing temperatures and agree with what you highlight. A true life consideration.

One I have suffered! It’s not too bad though.

Not my taste in rifles but Nice knife!
