I have the old t3 superlight model 7mm RM with 24” barrel that has been my go to for 16 years. I think it’s about 7 3/4 lbs with scope. Great gun. Relatively light but recoil is no issue. Shoots most ammo well. I’ve taken many species of plains game, elk, deer, bear, etc. Hot in Africa, freezing in Colorado - Never an issue, it just works. Just bought a second plastic magazine as a backup but the original one still works fine. I think Tikka’s are one of the biggest bangs for the buck. Got the itch and I just bought a new 5 lb Barrett Fieldcraft in .308. Will end up around 6 lbs total with rings and scope. Could have bought almost 3 tikka’s for its price, but wanted something really ultra light and you pay for that.
