The 250 is 120 pounds according to Sunsolve:

This is in contrast to the 420R that's 85 pounds:

Having personally lifted a UE450 off the ground (that one's a whopping 200  
pounds according to Sunsolve; I'd say that's a safe guess, considering it  
had 12 disks in it), I'd hunt down the Accuride rails.
