Good looking rifles @Formidilosus !Thank you for indulging me (us).
I should have guessed you would suggest some combination of Tikka T3x Lite/ MRC Marshall and SWFA/ Maven, etc. I think I got my wires crossed about setup for a bombproof 308 from Post #1,738 from "The Shoot2Hunt Podcast" thread when you were suggesting a heavier 12-13 pounds as an optimal overall weight. What I didn't pickup on was that your recommendation was based on a member asking about setup for an unsuppresed/unbraked 308.
I was wondering how you would get to that heavier weight, given your normal suggestions, since my T3x/SWFA/Rokstok/suppressor comes in under 10 pounds. I was thinking I would have to go with a heavier barrel and stock combination like a T3x CTR and KRG Bravo for my do-all 308. But I would personally hate to carry a 12-13 pound rifle all day, and prefer your above suggestions for any rifle I plan to carry very far. Fortunately, I live in a state that allows my suppressors!
Oh yeah. The heavier rifles are for if unsuppressed. I prefer a 8.5-10lb setup for my uses with a 308.
