Total package is just 6.38lb without the scope and rings. I got mine for the same reason, my 308 was too heavy. I really like the 6.8 so far, and it has roughly 80% the energy of the 308 (if they both have a 16" barrel). The combat loads from Silver State Armory can get up even higher...closer to 85% of the .308's energy!
FYI, a DPMS 16" AP4 .308 weights in at approx 8.6lb (without a scope)...quite a difference.
