Here’s a few more weight comparisons as well. This is also a picture of the original magazine vs the cut down magazine. Doesn’t save much weight but does fit mo betta.

I put a Timney trigger on the rifle yesterday. The bottom plastic (waiting on bottom metal) is just a little too small and it won’t clear. Other than taking a dremel to the bottom metal that is coming my way. Anyone know of company that has a bigger opening on the bottom metal for clearance of the Timney trigger?

For those with SWFA 3-9 on theirs or have tried it, does it feel too big in such a trim rifle? Planning to order everything but stuck on which scope.
Totally fine. Mine is 16” nomad ti vg stockys Timney JO Burris 2 piece tps super lows and the 3-9. Don’t know weight but it doesn’t matter to me because I don’t have anything to change. The balance and handling is great to me. Hope this helps.

Should add I like the setup well enough I have everything waiting to make a copy of it in 22 arc well except the 22arc haha. Maybe they’ll become available in the next few months.

I found the same when I installed my Timney.
The Oregunsmithing bottom metal has plenty of clearance for the Timney

The 6arc I'm building is going to be pretty similar to yours! Different rail and rings and I'll be shooting a Nomad Ti XC. Otherwise it's the same. Haven't decided on a final barrel length yet, but weight before being shortened is 7.6 lbs.
