I've always wanted to see a list of what various build components weigh so I've gradually been weighing things as I use them. I'm using a set of digital fish scales so right in the beginning I'm not saying these are "spot on" weights. I'm not sure if a list like this has been developed, if it has my bad. If it hasn't add on as you try things so we can all learn!!

**Savage VLP laminated stock (short action) - 3#
**Stockade Woodchuck stock (long action with trigger guard) - 2# 13ounces
**110 Long action with bolt included - 2# 5 ounces
**Leupold long range 4.5x14x50 - 1# 4ounces
**Savage 7mm Mag on a 110 long action, Mcmillan A3 sporter, CBI light varmint barrel 26", scope and EGW base with Burris signature Z rings, 10# 6 ounces
**Savage .243 on 10 short action, VLP stock, CBI light varmint 24", scope and EGW base with Burris signature Z rings, 11#
