I hunted with a borrowed rifle for a couple of seasons that was heavier and longer. I didn’t mind. Once I went in with a shorter and lighter rifle, don’t think I will ever go with that borrowed gun again, unless I don’t have a choice, lol. You can say I didn’t know any better back then.

The rings are 4.7 oz, the rail is another 2 ounces, which gets you closer to 6.5, but still not quite - still 7 oz over what they are stating on the website. I don’t know.
