But boy does Fat Amy just feel right when you close your eyes and settle into her .

Bag it and shag it mentality is the only way to approach her, unless fat chicks are your jam, which appears to the case on this forum

The rokstok is the fat amy of the rifle stock world…you are never excited to show her off to anybody

What if fat Amy is a great cook, and also an orthopedic surgeon who brings home $600k a year?

Fat amy jokes aside, you lose me at 7.5lbs with this rifle. 6.5lbs starts getting interesting, sub 6lbs has me saving my pennies to make it happen.

And owns a 1000 acres of prime hunting land? You marry her but still don’t bring her to the high school reunion.

The endex features the gen 2 of the nxt action. We call it NX2. About 5 oz lighter and reduced bolt lift 40 percent. New trigger. 2pos safety. Nexus gets an update in September.

@Aaron Davidson

Are there any issues with the Gen1 that owners need to be worried about that could break or hinder them in the field?

I don’t really understand why guys think they need a featherweight rifle they can barely shoot accurately.

8.5-9.5 lbs all in for a hunting gun is perfect. Light enough to carry even for a child and makes the gun MUCH more shootable.

I hope we look back on the 2015-2025 era of everyone needing a “sheep rifle” and laugh sometime soon.

You are projecting your shooting ability on others…

Others meaning the thousands of shooters/hunters I’ve shot with, shot against, taught in classes, learned from in classes, etc?

Or just you? The one internet shooter who can shoot a magnum cartridge in a 5 lb rifle and a 9 lb rifle with the same repeatability shot for shot day in and day out?

I’ll give you a hint. That shooter only exists on the internet.

Man, you are the king of big numbers… “hundreds” and “thousands”. You kill hundreds of game animals every year and shoot with thousands of people, thousands of rounds etc. Every post you make involves hundreds and thousands and millions, really big numbers to give your opinion more credibility than others. It is almost like you are trying to compensate for something. You really are the star of your own movie. Keep throwing out those big numbers brother!!

Johnny's ability to make first round hits on small targets at distance is one of the more well documented phenomena on this forum. There's plenty else to quibble about but I wouldn't call this particular user's shooting skill into question.

So I used to chase the lightest weight rifle possible. Gunwerks can virtually build anything you can think of. They know building a rifle the lightest possible would be sellable, but you know what is more sellable. Giving someone who has never shot over 600 yards pinging steal on the first round with a magnum rifle.

There is a huge difference shooting a 6.5 and below vs shooting a 7 cal and above long range. They are selling confidence. The product happens to cost more because it is Ferrari quality. If you ever owned a gunwerks it would be hard to go to something lesser quality.

Also anyone wondering if gunwerks will support gen 1nexus. I can say they support any rifle built by them. There is a couple guys there you can text and receive support in a few hours or less. Everyone raves about Exo customer service but gunwerks is in the same tier as well imo.

I see both sides.. When you start at 6lb, it’s that much easier to get to that 8.5-9.5lb range your pointing to. Below is my sub 6lb Seekins Slam M3 in 6CM out of the box. As you can see, ready to go I’m right in the sweet spot (9 pounds, 7 ounces).. a lighter platform allows you to put weight where and how you want it which has real value.

I agree with @mxgsfmdpx as well though, and given Gunwerks is a bit more magnum oriented, I’d say the their ~7.5lb number out of the box is spot on. You wouldn’t want it much lighter with anything 6.5 PRC and up, especially in a chassis.

Like I always say, it’s one thing to talk about it on the internet and another to come out and shoot in real life. You’ve done the latter

Because my NX8 and Nomad L add roughly 3.5 pounds to the rifle so a 9.5 pound finished weight requires a, you guessed it, 6 pound base rifle.

I have a ridgeline FFT in 280 AI that comes in sub 6lbs. It has a ATACR 4-16x42 on it - with rings, I am already closing in on 8lbs. Add a bipod, I am 8.5-9 depending on which one. 7.5lb starting weight gets me closer to 11 lbs - which is close to what my 6.5 prc weighs.

You are exactly right tho, you can always add weight to a rifle, but it is a lot more difficult to take it away.

I am sure you have said that hundreds or thousands or millions of times too. You aren’t the only one who shoots a lot on the forum bud. Maybe the only one that kills hundreds of big game animals every year tho…

The dude burns thousands of rounds a year, burns out barrels, and kills stuff all the time. He’s one of the most dedicated shooters on this forum, and probably one of the highest annual round counts on here.
