    Weight totally depends on what the rifle is chambered in, barrel length and thickness.. suppressor, grip and scope used.

    The chassis sits at about 600 grams with most grips fitted.
    The barreled actions fluctuate a lot between a s/s light weight and a blued heavy barrel. The best weight savings is achieved by cutting the barrel short, thinning it and fitting a carbon tension sleeve.
    Very easy to achieve a sub 2kg rifle fully set up.

    My personal rifle in 6.5 grendel is 1.6kg.
