The rifle is a little over 10lb. The scope is just over 2lb. Not counting base,rings,and bipod. A beast is an accurate description.
The steel muzzle brake will add a bit more weight when it arrives Monday.
I do like the looks of the entire package.
Scope should be here tomorrow.
Lone Wolf McQuade has been talking up these scopes.
There is a long thread over on snipers hide about them.
I hope they are as good or better than the Athlon scopes I have.
Just waiting on the scope and the muzzle brake.
Yep 300 winmag
Supposed to take Remington 700 pattern parts. Probably a Timney trigger in its future too.
Ordered 100 rounds of this to start.

The other thing it might be is the barrel hood might be too long.
