Yeah, 3680.
If you already have a .25-06 how is it set up? I'm guessing for the price you're going to spend on a new rifle we can help you lighten it up. What scope do you have, what rings and bases is it mounted in, and what stock is on it? If it's a standard S2 it should come in at a 7.5 lbs rifle and it should be easy to keep it around 8.5 lbs with a good scope and mount. The problem I always had with the Vanguard series rifles is the balance of the rifle, balance can affect the perceived weight of a rifle.

Boyds stocks are also quite heavy - unless you have one of rimfire 'ultralight' models.It actually was heavy with the factory stock. Weatherby actions are very robust.
