What made you switch from the Mark 5 to the trijicon
I had been looking to get a smaller/lighter scope for a while. And was pretty set on getting the mk5 3-18.What made you switch from the Mark 5 to the trijicon
How have you been liking this action? I have a barreled action ready in 2-3 months based on a LP Fuzion and I'm hoping I made the right call.Lone peak fuzion
I have had multiple fuzions on competition rifles and hunting. They are my personal favorite. You won’t be disappointed.How have you been liking this action? I have a barreled action ready in 2-3 months based on a LP Fuzion and I'm hoping I made the right call.
Open light is a 12# weight limit isn't it? Most PRS guns are 19# or more. That seems like a big weight difference to account for with only the chassis.My priority would be as an NRL hunter gun but having dual purpose would be nice. Anyone have experience running one gun both?
Element would be your best bet I think. @XLR could probably chime in with his thoughts but you can add a substantial amount of weight to them between the m-lok on the side and internal weights. The butt stock would be the tough choice. The carbon would make it easy to make light class with, but can't add weight to. The c-6 can take a ton of weight but may be too much weight for light class and make your gun butt heavy.I shot the 2024 Snake River NRL hunter with my Seekins Hit 6.5 CM which is also my PRS gun. Had an absolute blast. I was just in skills stage for my first Hunter but definitely interested in doing more. I'd like to compete in the open light which the HIT can't do and so was thinking about building a 6.5cm on a chassis that I could then add weight to in order to be my PRS gun as well.

The element 4 or the HNT26 look like good options, but I don't know how much weight I could add to em.
Whats the weight on that without the can?This will be my first year shooting NRL. I built a 6.5PRC and will be sending factory 147ELDM. I will not be competing, just using it as practice this year. Because of that, I plan on using the same rifle, ammo, optics, and tripod that I actually hunt with. Should be fun!
On just the chassis block you can add 3 lbs to a Remington 700 SA Element. That doesn't include adding weights to the buttstock or changing the buttstock to one of our heavier options. Most guys who shoot open light run the Element 4.0 Magnesium with the Carbon grip and carbon buttstock. This chassis weighs 28-33 oz depending on whether or not you run the folder. That same chassis can weigh 7 lbs with the TR-2 buttstock, mercury recoil reducer, TR-2 Main weights, internal forend weights, and 2 sets of M Lok side weights. I would recommend looking at our weight calculator to see the different weight options you can achieve.The element 4 or the HNT26 look like good options, but I don't know how much weight I could add to em.
I want to say right at 8.3 lbs, give or take an ounce or two? I haven't weighed it without can and i'm not sure what the can weighs off the top of my head!Whats the weight on that without the can?
