'bout 13Lbs http://weightweenies.starbike.com/articles.php?ID=94
Although that is carbon and slightly shorter travel.
FWIW I aiming for sub-16Lbs Saracen HT for SSEC. Magnesium frame, 100mm forks but only one gear (obviously). Not sure how well my current (13 year old steel Claude Butler) SS hack bike would stand up to it...

my giant xtc with r7 platinums and v.light finishing kit, reasonable wheels comes out about 27lbs
Has a friend filled it with sand?

My handjob is 26lbs with Reba Races, RaceFace Evolove XC/LX drive train, RaceFace Deus finishing kit and Crossrides
Mines a similar build.
My Soul weighs ~28lbs with Talas, M4's and 321's/2.25 tyres! Okay its decent kit but its on the lardy side. Could lose a couple of pounds alone by swapping to my tubeless hope hoops.
I'd say 25-26lbs is the a answer to the OP
Just weighed mine using the tried and tested bathroom scales (me on and then me plus bike) and it comes out at a lardy 29lb 
Hey ho will have to ride faster/further/more often!
Large GT avalanche frame
Truvativ Stylo cranks/gxp bb
Syncros bulk bars
Truvativ XR stem
Raceface ride seat post
FSA xc200 wheels + 2.1 folding conti speed kings
Tektro aurigo comp brakes
xt front and rear mechs deore shifters
sram 970 cassette
ritchey foam grips
Charge knife saddle
In bold are the heavy bits that could be changed relatively cheaply but in all honesty they would make what 2-300g difference but at what cost!!
EDIT - the cassette can be changed for the spare XT one i have in the shed and save 120g 
Candys to swap for the acids tomorrow and a further 100+g
Just under 1/2 a pound saved
Depends on the frame size as I weighed a Zaskar at 3.6lbs or 1.65kg and it was a 19.5".
Some bike reviews put the frame size on too.
Persoanlly I wouldn't worry unless you race then 24lbs or under at least.
I made my bike uber light 21 lbs on bike shop scale and carbon parts but then it rode light and crap.
Now it's 23lbs and burly built-rides a lot better for fun trails.
28.5lb , it's a 19" old P7 one of the first with disc mounts(had v posts removed when resprayed)most of the kit on it is middle of the road apart from the wheels that are heavy but strong to compensate for my clumsiness.
Weight aside, that Orange is lovely.
thank you 
I like it and don't really find it heavy as my big susser weighs in at 39lb and gets used on below 15 mile rides so after that the Orange feels very light. + I weigh 15st so hardly light myself.

my giant xtc with r7 platinums and v.light finishing kit, reasonable wheels comes out about 27lbs[quote]Has a friend filled it with sand?
it's a real rough estimate using fishing scales but its near there, I think
only miffed when other people quote weights,
its a giant xtc frame small,
r7 platinums,
xt/717 wheels/fire xc pro folding tyres,
xt crank, 950cassette chain?
xt/deore mechs/lx shifters
hayes el camino brakes
ricthey 4axis stem / fsa xc190 bar / charge sponge grips
spoon saddle / ea50 post
m520 pedals
oh and a lot of sand
maybe i should get it weighed properly and find out once and for all,
not real desire to change anything on it pretty much got it as i like it,
dont think i can lighten greatly it much without splashing lots of cash on it now.
Genesis Altitude 19" - 29 lbs with not particularily trying. Setup currently for lakes type winter riding with
Revs, coil U-turn 85-130mm(pushed)
SLX twin and bash
Xm719s running 2.3 Swampthings (tubeless)
Oro K18 brakes
SLX running gear
Mixture of thompson and easton finishing kit
Would be easy (but not cheap!) to shed several lbs by swapping the wheel/tyre combo and forks, fit a ligher bash setup. Say 26lb with some black stuff added in.
Maxlight sml 23.9lbs using luggage scales
Fox 80RL, crossmax sl/captain 2bliss, XT c/s, X9 shifters/der, hope mini mono
