I have a Browning stainless stalker,(synthetic stock and stainless steel barrel).270 and I have a Remington 700 mountain rifle in Laminated stock and stainless steel.The Remington is actually lighter than the Browning,not by a lot though.I prefer the Browning as it is better balanced and I know it so well I am that much more comfortable with it.The Remington is cosmetically beautiful though.
I would suggest that you look at the various rifles that you are considering and see which one feels the best or fit's you best.
