Hi forum, hoping for some insights on how much your Remington 700 (wood stock only, older BDL, or CDL, or older ADL with wood stock) weighs, without scope.
I wonder if they weigh more than the 7.5 lbs the new Remarm BDL’s are listed as on the Remarms website. I see some other websites say that Remington 700’s used to weigh 8 or 9 lbs without scope, and not sure if that’s accurate.
This would be helpful information as I’m looking to buy a used wood stocked Remington 700 and put a Lyman peep sight on it, and I’m wondering if the relative loss in weight from no scope might make recoil uncomfortable.
Thanks in advance.
