For years I've had my cover-all rifle which is a 7mm Tikka Fluted Hunter, and Bushnell 4.5-30x50. The rifle is 3.1kg, the scope is 600g.
I'm doing a bit of a re-config of my gear and I've taken the 4.5-30x50 off my Hunter as I'm going to put it on my .260 Rem that's coming, and replaced it with a Leupold VX2 4-12x40 which weighs 310g.
Even though I know for a fact I've only removed 290g, I swear my hunter is about half the weight it was
