Yea it is actually 2.24lbs.His jab was continuation ofthe gun forum debate between the Weatherby Accumark and Remington XCR barrel weight. Stubble had the Weatherby Magnum weight at 50.5oz vs my weight of 35.9oz from Weatherbys web site. At any rate triggers andhardware ect weight are minimal and probably very even between the two guns. The point of my response is the action weight is no where near 50.5oz as he claimed.
