If you have a good bathroom scale, observe your weight then stand on it holding your rifle, that will give you a rough ball park of rifle weight.
No mentions of.the Timney. Any reasons in particular? I like the looks of the nickled one but at the last minute settled on an Axis II for its accu-trigger.
I installed a SAV-2 in my .308 Model 10FCP HS-Precision the same day I bought the rifle. The instructional video is detailed, but leaves unanswered questions. Ultimately there was some fitting required (the SAV-2 bracket would not slide far enough back in the receiver to get the pin through) and a LOT of fiddling with the screws. But now it has an ultra crisp break at about 1 1/4 lbs with no overtravel and no slam fires, and the safety works perfectly. For right now I don't feel I need the pull any lighter than it is.
All you need is a piece of mechanic's wire or even coathanger wire, bend about a 1/4" radius curve in the end. It shows how to use the tool in the installation video.
EDIT: Ooops! Wrong spring and wrong tool above. For the sear spring I just used a bamboo chopstick to push the coil of the spring into the right location, then pushed the pin through from the other side with my finger. The wood tool has the advantage of not scratching or marring anything, and it is also less likely to slip under pressure than a hard metal tool.
