Sako A7 LR 300 Win Mag with Zeiss Conquest MC 6.5-20x50. Sometimes with a Quake Claw sling, sometimes with an Atlas bipod. Bathroom scale reads 10.2 pounds (with sling but no bipod). Soon to have an APA Little Bastard Gen 1 brake. Only rifle I can get a reading from. Don't know how accurate that reading is.
My botnet is bigger than yours.

I carried around a .303 British when I was a whippersnapper that was the heaviest rifle ever. The reason I carried it was that was all I had. I never weighed it, but I am a mere whisp of the man I was when that was my only choice.

My semi-custom 300WM weighs in at around 21 lbs with the suppressor and a fully loaded 5rd mag. Next heaviest is my new 6.5 creed AR-10, comes in at 13.5 lbs. I definitely prefer heavier rifles though.

I have a remington R15 in .30RAR that has a 20" bull barrel. Shoots like a dream but I would hate to tote it on an elk hunt. It's even uncomfortable to carry on a sling. However if you come up on a group of hogs averaging in the 150lb range, sneak into 50 yards or so and open up, it will have four down in quick order.

I had forgotten about my DRD Paratus. This is the heaviest rifle I have overall. In its current configuration with bipod, suppressor, case...etc. it comes in at 28.2 lbs. I'm about to add a 260REM or 6.5 Creedmoor barrel to it. Very awesome rifle and exceptionally accurate!

Like my dad before me, as I age I move to lighter rifles. I'm sure those 20 pounders shoot great, but they aren't for me.
