Kind of funny for me that that's too heavy for your liking. Guess different people have different tastes. When my rifle is done, I'll be happy if it's 10#, but I like a heavier rifle for a more stable platform and don't mind the weight
I know, 7.25lbs is pretty light for a savage, even a bone stock savage weighs a bit more if you look at the weight on their website. my rifle as it sits right now weighs about 12-13lbs, lightest one I have is my weatherby vanguard that weighs 8lbs total (scope, mounts, and bipod).
