These rifles are not heavy they are made to carry that’s why they call them mountain rifles. Composite stock these come I think with the upgraded hs precision stocks.before I offer up my 7mm-08 I would like to know a little more about your rifle. How long is the barrel? How much does the rifle weigh? Is the stock a composite or plain synthetic? Don't know much about the mountain rifle style, whether it is heavier than normal rifle ?
