I am looking at Winchester's 1885 low wall, in 6.5x55 for fun at the range and for hunting in the mountains.
I hear that the weight listed at Winchester is incorrect, and I hear figures from 6.5 - 8.00 pounds.
Can anybody set me straight on this? If it's going to be eight pounds and then a scope on top of that, it would be too much for me to haul up and down the mountains.
I like the gun and the cartridge - but need better info about the rifle's weight.
