7 lbs. full up with ammo, strap ready to go but where I deer hunt weight isn't really a big issue. Elk hunting is where I want to cut weight.
That would be a nice weight had a Kimber 84m in 7-08 that came close to that and it was nice carrying around. Where I deer hunt I might walk 200 yards to get in a stand but Mule Deer hunting is another story. I should have qualified it for Whitetail Deer only. COncur on the Elk as well the less weight the better especially as I get older and probably the same rifle used for mule deer.

We hunt whitetails and mule deer at the same time, sometimes as "deer" and sometimes the license is specific about species. Eastern plains of CO we have both together. My latest gun of choice is my sons TC Contender carbine in 7-30 Waters, even out to 300 yds. it is very effective, weights in at 7lbs. full up and it balances and carries quite nicely. Another one would be a Remington Mtn Rifle in .260 that weighs in just over 7 lb ready to hunt with.
Mine is right about 10.5 lbs, and it is a little heavy.
