G'day Caine.
According to the Nosler Promotional Information the weight of the Nosler 48 Sporter is 5 3/4 lbs. That is approximately 2.608 Kg. I think that would be without scope or mounts.
I hope you have more luck in obtaining a model 48 in Norway than I am having in Australia. (Unfortunately that's what happens when you live on the other side of the world)

G'day Caine.
Caine you are a lucky man. All the women in my life (wife and 2 daughters) would prefer jewellery to firearms.
The rifles I have used for mountain hunting in New Zealand (stalking, Red Deer, Himalayan Tahr and Chamois) are as follows:
The first was a Steyr Mannlicher Professional in .270 Winchester. When Winchester introduced their controlled feed model 70. I purchased a featherweight .270 Winchester and had some work done on it, including putting an original McMillan / Winchester Featherweight fiberglass stock on it. My son now uses this rifle when we go to New Zealand. I also have Steyr Mannlicher Pro Hunter also in .270 Winchester. Ugliest rifle I own but it shoots well.
Recently I purchased a Remington Model 700 with the Titanium receiver. This rifle is in .260 Remington. I think a nice light Chamois rifle. When hunting in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, your rifle eventually gets used as an expensive walking stick.
I like the look of the Nosler Model 48. I am hoping I will eventually obtain one. Probably the last rifle I will need to buy. (now I want to wear them all out)
Good luck with the choice of rifle and the girl friend. (then check out Paspaley Pearls)

Hi Caine,
I have no doubt that I have come full circle with regards to firearms that I own. I have got full Custom Jobs and also stock standard factory rifles If I was to start again, knowing what I know now and with the amount of shooting and stalking I do now. I think that I would be tempted to have just a single shot, take down rifle. Perhaps a Blaser single shot.
At the risk of causing an international incident, in my opinion, (not that it's worth very much) in relation to wooden stocks, if some of the German / Austrian manufacturers could adapt an American Classic or English Stalking or Big Game rifle style stock to their rifles it might broaden their appeal.
In relation to wooden stocks, give me American Classic or English understatement any day.
Now I think that I better retreat to the bunker and wait for the flack to stop falling.

G'day Caine.
Well you are a better man than I. That's fairly impressive shooting. And I agree absolutely with what you say in relation to testing of rifles and optics. There are plenty of 500 metre rifles with 100 metre shooter's behind them. (I'm probably one of them) If I can consistently ring the gong (hit a 40cm x 40cm steel splash plate) at 300 metres with one of my sporting rifles I think that I have done well. (Although I must admit I do like bowling Silhouette Rams at longer ranges) I have a friend who consistently places well in a fly shoots. He uses a 6.5 x 284 Winchester. He is fanatical about his case preparation and reloading. I wouldn't want this bloke shooting at me. Alas with me you would be pretty safe, unless you were extremely unlucky.
How's the search for the girlfriend's new rifle going?
