I will be using this rifle in very cold weather. Possibly single digits to below zero on many days. I'm thinking around 3.5#. The manafaucters set it a an 8# default if I am correct.I justcan't takeit. Can a gun smith get it exact enough to be right at 3.5# or will it give or take a few ounces?

Have my big game rifles set @ 3lbs. Any less and I get nervous about it in cold weather, particularly with any type of glove on. Easy to get fumble fingered when you are really cold and things just don't work the same.

3pounds seems to work well for me especially with light gloves, 2 or less is silly for anything but benchrest/prarie doggin IMO unless you have very sensitive and weak fingers!!

For a hunting rifle 3 1/2 to 4 lbs. is excellent. If you will be shooting long distance drop down to 3 lbs. but I wouldn't go below that in any hunting situation.
