1in9 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) My rabbit setup weighs 5kg! CZ 452 .17 HMR Thumbhole with heavy 20" Varmint barrel + SAK + Harris + MTC Taipan 6-24x56 IS + mounts It's mainly the scope which makes it feel heavy, lovely glass but weighs 1kg alone. First time I took it out I forgot the sling, that was some workout! On the flip side it is supremely accurate Edited January 24, 2011 by 1in9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I don't think I have any scales big enough to weigh mine But like you, it lives on the bipod and truck roof... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 You need to get in the Gym mate.. Used to carry that thing round all night on the sling and sticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesbach Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ha, no need for gym..coping not too bad with rifle over each shoulder at the moment..its when the bunnies get tied to your belt that the old hills take their toll!

Dunkield Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 is 14lb heavy But it's fine for sitting on your backside, it wouldn't be much fun running up and down mountains looking for deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscarsdad Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 My TX200 with scope and deben tracer atom tactical lamp & battery fitted is nearly 17lbs! It can get heavy if i spend a long time out after bunnies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixer1 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 My weatherby vanguard in 243 with swaro 4-16 x 50, a Harris bipod, boyds TH stock, reflex T8 and sling is 12 1/2 lb, which surprised me as I would have thought it was heavier! It certainly feels it after walking a few miles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
