My Ruger .308 with factory synthetic stock weighs 8 lbs. even with a Leupold 2-7X scope. Cost was $350 used. My stainless/synthetic Remington model 7 in .308 with Leupold 2.5-8X weighs 6 7/8 lb scoped. Cost was $400 used. The stainless/synthetic Tikka 30-06 weighs slightly under 7 with a Leupold 2.5-8X scope. Cost was $600 new.
The Tikka and Ruger both shoot 1 1/2" groups at 200 yards. The model 7 will do that but only at 100 yards. The key to keeping weight down is in carefully choosing scopes and mounts.
