Mine is 10 pounds, 11 oz. It is a joy to carry, but you know when you shoot it from the bench. Actually, I shot it several times today off-hand. It really wasn't that bad, albeit, I had a sissy pad on my shoulder.

One good thing about Butch's guns; while he doesn't promise the same, most of them will regulate with a load 200 fps less, also. Ray Atkinson's shot well at 2020 fps and he shot three (maybe two?) buffalo with his and killed them dead as dirt with the new North Fork Cup Point monolithics.

I've got just five days and a wake-up before I'm on my way to try for an elephant. Can't wait!
