Anyone actually weigh their firearms to compare to advertised weights?

Had the scale out today and weighed a bunch of my guns for the first time to see where they clocked in, a few didn't weigh as advertised. This will be useful when calculating felt recoil values.

Merkel Double in 470NE with LPVO - Was told 11.5lbs, actual weight was 12.5lbs. (Should be good for soaking up recoil)

CZ550 in 416 Rigby, advertised as 9.3lbs naked, Actual weight was10.7lbs with scope and LPVO. (Still has a decent amount of recoil at this weight).

CZ550 in 375HH, advertised as 9.3lbs naked, Actual weight was 9.6lbs (very manageable)

Model 70 in 458 WM, advertised as 9.0lbs, Actual weight was 8.6lbs (explains the recoil++)

I'm planning on taking the LPVO off the double and topping it on the 458 to add a little extra weight.

Have you weighed your DG rifles and found any surprises?

I have weighed some of mine that are advertised as lightweight. All are a little over their reported weight.

I bought a Rem XCR II in 375 in 2011 was supposed to weigh 7.4 lbs. Weighed it on a postal scale. It weighs 7.5 lbs with Tallery Steel QR rings and Leupold 2-7x Firedot scope. I was a little nervous about how hard ti would kick, but it's a pussycat.

Don’t really care how much they weigh, as long as what I point them at falls over and I can swing them around to get them on target in the first place

Don't forget to adjust for varying barrel lengths (if applicable).
