Its pretty easy to hit 7# or so with a scope on a short action internal mag if you buy all ultralight components and a short thin barrel. If you want to hit 7# with a long action and a decently long barrel you will probably have to go to a Carbon Fiber stock. Most likely with any 7# build you will need a Leopold Ultra light scope and ultralight rings.
Here are some weights.
