actual wt. of new 7-08 short lt wt. (barrel only)??

[thejanitor]

Really want to know what the actual Wt. of the new 7-08 lt. wt 20 inch is. Does anyone have one they could weigh without the scope (just the barrel) so I can compare it to the 44 mag barrel my daughter loves the balance of..... She wanted my 44 mag, but she is used to shooting a .270 and I want her to be able to shoot like she is used to ( 200+ yds if she wants), just want her to have a lighter gun than the bolt. model 70 she uses now.
Thanks thejanitor

Thank you Brian! Now just to go home and weigh the 44 mag barrel (w/o scope) and the project may be underway! If it handles like the 44 mag she will be very happy with it. Then is is off to the classifieds for another stock set.... what a circle these handis become.
