BSA CF2 with a Zeiss scope and Tobler SS Match Barrel.
It weighs close to 14lbs and for that reason alone, I have just sold it to a friend.
$1000 (less the scope)

Not quite rifles yet but once they are complete, I’ll update!
One on the left is an Ultralight ETAC and the right a MILSPEC ETAC. Of course both from @PSE Rifle Stocks. Very slightly different in completion but fit their intended roles perfectly.
Thanks to @Malxwal for having very similar taste!
Oh it's certainly beautiful, just heavier than I expected."A bit of a lump" I've never been so insulted, tis a thing of grace and beauty to behold

Okay so…
One rifle was a nice easy bolt in job; although definitely not lightweight.
We have a T3 Action, Bolt Fluted 6x180, Sassen 20” Stainless T4 profile, 1:7 twist, chambered in .260Rem. PSE ETAC MILSPEC, IOR 2-16x42 in an American Defense QD Mount, Wildcat Evolution and a Tier One ATAC Bipod.
12lb 6oz.

With enough time behind the rifle and experience of things going right and wrong, my preference is not for a heavy or light rifle, but a balanced one.
Alex Wheeler's posts on another forum are worth reading: Importance of rifle balance
Sadly, most purchases are made based on stats that can be looked up and compared on paper.
Compare things side to side in the real world, and you'll see that these stats don't always add up.
People ask me why I prefer Japanese scopes over European ones, higher mounted scopes vs. 'as low as possible to the bore', shorter barrels and lighter moderators... it's because all these things are objectively better!

There is nothing controversial about the GRS Bifrost, excellent ergonomics and a reasonable weight. I am a little biased, I have three.

Forgive my lack of knowledge on this lovely rifle - is that two recoil lugs I see?
Just very curious if there indeed are two on a light chambering.

Here are two more I just put together.
Top is a Remington 1903 with a Unertl 12X on a Belding & Mull scope mount.
Bottom is a Remington 1903A3 action with a star gauged NRA sporter barrel, M60 flash hider and 10X Unertl. The NRA sporter barrel is slightly larger than a service grade barrel so I still have some inletting to do to float the barrel before shooting it. I may hunt with that rifle this year.
