Well Jon she comes in at just under 13 lbs. But I'm sure when I get the vernier tang sight and put a round in the chamber she'll hit the 13 lb mark!
But I look on the bright side, with that 30" barrel I won't have to walk as far...
Van - I had a similar rifle in .45-70. A Browning 78. A beautiful rifle. I still have two Marlins, and 1895 Guide Gun and an 1895 Cowboy in 45-70. I love that cartridge and there ain't much that can stand up to getting thumped with it.
