Darren, where do you remember those figures from? You are waaaayyyy off the mark.
GS 10" (250mm) OTA - 15.5kg, Base - 12.2kg Total - 27.7kg
GS 12" (300mm) OTA - 19.5kg, Base - 13.5kg Total - 33kg
Yes the 12" is slightly longer and heavier than the 10", But double????
Randall, and anyone else wanting the FACTS on dimensions, look here for every spec you need on all GS scopes; weight, length, diameter etc:

I personally don't have a problem carrying, moving or transporting my 12" but you may want a slightly smaller scope for ease.
