M70 Std. action vs. short action weight ??

Anyone know the approx. weight difference between the Win. Mod. 70 standard action and the short action?

I have found info on Remington but not Winchester.

Thanks!

I think it's about 3 oz. This assuming both are using the same trigger guard (aluminum or steel). Regards, Bill

I agree it is 3 or 4 oz. I believe the pre 64 long is about 2#13oz.

Thanks Bill!

If that is all, then we may just go the 300 win mag. route after all.
