How much does your UNLOADED rifle weigh?

[Guest JohnGalway]

If you're going to do this, please make sure you're rifle is unloaded, and if using a scales where you're going to be hanging your rifle by it's sling make sure it's secure or over something nice and soft like a bed with a thick quilt under it, I've enough fans without being told I broke your rifle from another country Or worse, got you shot!

 

My foxing rifle (Remington .223) came to 13.5lbs.

 

My other rifle (Sako Quad) came to 8.5lbs.

 

Those weights include everything I'd have out shooting except ammunition, so bipods, slings, bolts etc.

 

Definately not weighing the battery pack after that

Carrying my 16st gut around, (well at least I'm 6'4"), I don't think it matters

That sounds just to light, with no disrespect mate but at 5.72lb for the lightest version of the quad I suppose it could be?

 

Impressive to say the least.

I thought it a little optomistic, but even at 8lb it's still a lightweight, nice
