Just for reference i weighed (with a postal scale) the 300 WSM Ultralite and it came in at 6 LBS 3.9 ounces (advertised at no more than 6) and the 270 Lightweight hunter weighed in at 5 LBS 12.6 ounces, advertised at 5.6 LBS. It looks like both weighed a little more than advertised, but i have read a few reviews from other makes and one put the Tikka Ultralight at 6.3 LBS with an advertised weight of 6 LBS... so it looks like it is common to fudge just a little. I have altered my kimber a little so there is no getting a from the factory weight at this time, but it was advertised at 6.3 LBS and i added a muzzle device so it might be an ounce or two more, but it feels heavier... but still a good amount lighter than my model 11. One day i should weigh up that model 11 and the Kimber Classic Select to see where they really are, and not just go by feel.
edit, when weighed on our more accurate Mettler Toledo scale the Ultralite weighed 6 lbs 3.04 ounces and the lightweight hunter weighed in at 5 LBS 12.60 ounces.
