Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
Is there a portless 12 or 12.5 inch 223rem/wylde/556 barrel option out there (same pencil profile as the shaw or faxon pencil barrels?) for an SBR setup? I would expect it to be in the 14oz range for the barrel+extension. Sorry if this has been covered in the thread elsewhere.- packgoatguy

Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
My ULUL solo300 build (223wylde) is setup for semi-long range (dialing Scope, arca for a tripod, adjustable stock cheek riser, nicer trigger, etc.) It's easy to stay in the 1moa range out to 400 yards, and I can hit my 500 and 725 yard gongs without much to-do... but wind plays a big role. It...- packgoatguy

MPA Ultralight vs XLR Element magnesium
Why not consider the HNT26 chassis? Can get it even lighter than the element MG. I ditched the factory folder on mine and found an adapter to run a buffertube style stock I made... I'm at 20oz including the folder mechanism and the stock, all with built in ARCA, thumbrest, etc.- packgoatguy

Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
Scythe Ti is under 8oz including the Direct Mount. Mine has proven just as quiet as my Ultra7 on my ULUL 223. It's nearly 2 ounces lighter than an Ultra5 (including the mount that TBAC requires, either DT or CB) and the Scythe Ti is way quieter and easier to clean. I think another alternative...- packgoatguy

Ultralight Ultralight Rifles
In regards to the swfa 2.5-10x32 UL (BDC version) I've had good luck with them. Very easy scope to get behind IMO with a very bright and wide field of view considering its small size. I've found a trick with the BDC/SFP combo that works for me... I use it like a poor man's dialing scope...- packgoatguy

Building a Custom Rifle
I've been down this road a few times. Put together a couple 300wm and a 28nos in hnt26 chassis. They are just too much recoil for that system IMO. I was never as happy with the shootability or groups as I'd have liked. On the other hand, my custom and semi-custom 6mmCM and 6.5cm rifles with...- packgoatguy

Ultralight Custom Break Action Rifle
To your point, I've found that for maximum shootability long range (especially for kids or novice shooters), I consider the total weight of the finished rifle, including bipod/tripod, ammo in mag, ammo in sleeve, suppressor, scope, etc... My rule of thumb all up is: 5-6 lbs, 223rem, 22arc...- packgoatguy

Ultralight Custom Break Action Rifle
70.1oz is as light as I could get my 223 contender, including 16 inch barrel, folder stock and scope rings and a spot for a couple extra bullets. It was 87.5oz (under 5.5lbs) including an swfa ultralight 2.5-10x32 bdc, and a scythe ti can. It is definitely the most compact option out there...- packgoatguy
