Frankenmauser, share some info on that rifle... Very nice
Ruger M77 Mk II "Sporter" (Stainless / Laminate)
Leupold VX-3 3.5-10x40mm
Factory Ruger rings (medium)
Timney trigger and sear, slightly tweaked and polished by me. (Factory spring for ~4 lb pull)
Harris HBH bipod (13.5-23")

Other than the trigger and sear, it's pretty much just a bone-stock Ruger.


It's a bit on the portly side, though...
9 lbs 2.6 oz without the bipod, sling, or any ammo. Each round adds about an ounce. The sling weighs about 7 ounces. The bipod weighs about 14 oz.
So... in the photo, it tipped the scales at about 10 lbs 9 oz. I do, occasionally, carry it while Elk hunting (without the bipod). But its primary purpose is for plugging Antelope, from a sitting position in the sage brush.
