BB97 9.3 x 74 - Weight ?

[secondtry]

Can those with one of these please post an actual bare rifle weight, whether or not a pad is fitted, and what variation (Luxus, Basic etc) that bare rifle weight is for ?

Thank you

Thank you. The good balance must hide the weight.

I do imperial for babies, fish, and rifles, so that is 7lb14oz. Add a scope and saddle mount and it gets close to 9.5 lbs.

Screw carrying that any where. Lust is extinguished (sadly)

Well, it does have 2 bbls....FWIW, I've never noticed the weight of mine when I've been humping it through the forest. Could be the ridiculous 15kg pack I carry balances the weight.... It's good exercise, right??

You have spoilt on a diet of K95s lol!

3.58 kg seems very heavy to me, maybe I have gotten something wrong.

Sadly you haven't got anything wrong. It is very heavy (for me)

Sometimes a little extra weight is not a bad thing.

Seriously, not an issue. Except maybe long range high country hunts - in which case maybe a K95 or plastic R8 etc would be better.... Who would take a double there anyway

[mchughcb]

Lol that would be me.

If you want less weight then you will have to go with the classic model with soldered barrels.

Very likely. And isn't it nice

Depending on much extra weight there is, and where it is, I agree. A bit of weight in the barrell can make a rifle much easier to shoot accurately and can make it swing and hold better off hand. It can also mask poor technique (I have personal experience ) Bare, or with an Micro or Docter it would be fine, but with a scope it would be the old left hand. right hand, on the shoulder, left shoulder, right shoulder, off the shoulder shuffle -continuously I found my way out of that many years ago, and I'm not going back.

Or try to look at a Chapuis X4

My B97 with left hand stock and double 9.3X74R barrels weighs 7 lb 8 oz with no scope. With the 12/7X65R barrel it weighs 6 lb 8 oz.
