Picked the rifles up earlier today, the 6/223 and 6.5/06 are letting the bedding dry, but the Grendel is ready to go.
The Scope is a 6x42 Meopta - heavy steel tube, but clear optics and it was sitting around doing nothing else. Until I can buy a more appropriate scope (ie lighter) it will sit on the little Grendel.
Weight as pictured with a 21inch Lilja #2 barrel (1.5in shank out of the action, 0.625in at the muzzle), HiTech Specialties stock with a simple recoil pad and a NOS BSquare bridge mount, is 6lb 13oz.
If I put a 6x36 FX2 or a 2.5-8VX3 on it, it will drop under the 6.5lb marker.
If I put Tallet lightweights on and do nothing else it will loose about 4oz (past experience).
Both weight loss exercises will see it weight in around 6lb even.

With a little luck I'll get to shoot it tomorrow as the main range near home appears not to be booked.
