The new ArmaLite AR-10A 16" carbine is 7.75lbs, so under 9lb scoped. Uses SR-25 mags (cheap Pmags) and cost about $1500 with a life time warranty.

I see used AR-10B's that use the modded M14 mags (cost $30 new) on Gunbroker in the $1200 or less area.

The ArmaLite rifles use mil-spec quality BCG's, forged uppers and lowers with true 7.62 size RE's and buffers. You don't get this with all the other manufacturers.
