Re: 98 & 96 actions for 9.3x62

That is probably about the weight of the Model 146's. Without scope and mounts I suspect that is what mine goes or thereabout.

However, the Model 46's I have owned or seen and handled are lighter to begin with. One of the "advantages" of the 94 action {on Model 46 9.3x57's} is its trim and light weight in comparison to the 98. Barrel diameters are different between the 46 and 146, too. Another aspect of the guns is the difference in weight between the stocks. Some of the 46's are stocked in beech, some in walnut, and the walnut-stocked guns seem vary a lot due to wood density. The source of HVA walnut has been discussed a lot on the Swede site but I'm not certain anybody knows exactly where the stocks came from, particularly since there may have been several sources. My 46 was very light to begin with, and then I removed wood and reshaped the comb to allow left-shoulder shooting, and this certainly trimmed some weight down.

Be very careful of SARCO. Probably best to see and handle what you are interested in buying before you lay down the cash...
