Re: Nosler M48 Patriot rifles

Art lucky I have 'some' answers, a mate came up for a visit before I picked this one up and weighed my deer rifles with a handy digital hook scale.
So I cant give you a real total for the Nosler. As you can see it still wears the plastic barrel sleeve.I reckon that will come off and make it .25 of an ounce lighter lol. I have no way of accurately weighing the Nosler atm thus.

five rifles ranged from 8.84 lbs up to 9.43 lbs with a variety of scopes,outside of those, one .300 W M is only 7.35 lbs,its a pared down barrel lightweight wood stocked job...the heaviest is a 26" barrelled 308 NM wood stock.

The scope pictured was a NIB job that I got for a tidy price,discontinued or not it will still carry my wants for the life of the rifle.
Its funny as a 300 Sako TRG-S always seemed " a heavy solid bastard" at 9.30 lbs yet my old W 7 MM comes in at 9.13 lbs. Bugger all diff,yet feels much lighter!


None are too heavy to carry in the bush for me.
