The rifle itself is not light, weighing in at around 9lbs. Add a quality scope and a few accessories and this rifle will be one heavy package. While this may help in reducing felt recoil from the stout round, it will also make trekking on an elk or a deer hunt a bit more difficult. But this wasn’t a huge concern of mine, if weight needs to be shed I’ll start with my waistline and not my rifle.
