Cva Scout v2 44 mag weight disparity

[SOS]

I'm looking into a stainless cva scout in 44 mag, but I'm getting very conflicting information online. The manufacturer and retailers list it as being 5.8 pounds, but some reviews say it's a heavy rifle and one person on a forum says with a scope it's over 8 pounds. Don't really understand the disparity, but if anyone has personal experience I'd love to hear what you have to say about it

Heavy like a boat anchor, awesome rifles!!!

I shot one in 35 Whelen. It’s heavy and helped tame recoil for sure.

Interesting. I'm not interested in a heavy rifle but the pros may outweigh the cons on this one. Really just looking for something to work out diabolical hand loads. Bonus if it's weather resistant and double bonus if it's lightweight. There's a m77/44 on here for $1000 but that's on the top end of what I'd like to spend

I love my stainless 77/44, but I get it about price

I'd probably pay $1000 for a stainless all weather model. On the fence about a standard one. I'm hard on my guns and prefer something robust enough to not get damaged, and priced well enough so that I don't mind when it does. M77 fits one of those qualities lmao

I’m not seeing a disparity.

The word “heavy” is subjective.

Depending upon what scope/rings/mounts the reviewer used, you can easily add over 2lbs with your optic setup.

If all you’re wanting it for is for heavy load work up, then the weight would be a bonus.

My pal has one in 300 blackout - I was surprised at the weight. Not crazy heavy but I expected lighter.
