I’d confirm that you can use the MDT mags on the XLR. From my understanding you can’t but please correct me if I’m wrong. I hate the current AICS set up for the XLR.The calculator says a bare chassis 4.0 Element in aluminum is 24 oz and an atom in MG is 16. So 8oz could be shaved by selling this chassis and replacing with Atom long term.
Short term savings:
3.5oz on the grip
8oz on the scope moving to a NF 2.5-10
6oz moving to polymer 3rd MDT
Takes the gun from 9lb 9oz to 8 lb 8oz unsuppressed.
For a 4 day-hunt elk rifle that weight seems reasonable, but for 10 days chasing sheep with full camp on my back it might be nice to switch to tote something a bit lighter.
I was wondering if you were going to be carrying a full pack. Just a thought, but it might be easier to look at your gear and knock several lbs off that pretty easily(?). Win-win if you can swing that.The calculator says a bare chassis 4.0 Element in aluminum is 24 oz and an atom in MG is 16.
