I'm in the market for a 270 or a 7mm-08 rifle, and I want something lighter weight than my 7.5 lb (without scope) Weatherby Vanguard. I'm looking for a hunting rife - nothing fancy. I'm considering the Trophy Hunter XP package, and was curious about the weight of these rifles without the scope, and also the weight difference between short and long action Savage rifles. The Savage website says there's a .75 lb difference between the 11 and the 111 Trophy hunter rifles.

Have any of you weighed for yourselves one of these rifles? Or do any of you know the actual weight difference between the short and long actions on the standard Savage rifles (not the LWH version).

Thanks!
