On the next oneWhere is the orange?
Hey! I’m from Alberta, and even I know that ain’t 4”!You sure you're not from Alberta?
Mike you got me thinking about a superlite in 308 dropped into a Wildcat or Brown Precision (both would run around $1100 bedded for the stock but have to work out and import deal for the Wildcats). I’m thinking you could get awfully close to 5lbs. Cut the 22 inch 308 fluted barrel to 21.Got a little too excited there

(But working in the building industry, I’m use to converting metric and imperial back and forth. Didn’t think you guys could even get those mixed up tape measures down there. Hah.)
I’ve been there too.Got a little too excited there
May be better known as feet and inches for you guys south of the 49th.Imperial? WTF is that?

That squares with the thread job I had done recently - we didn't measure it exactly, but running the shoulder 1-2 mm in front of the fluting gave us about a 21" barrel.

Wildcat is supposed to finish at 20. Brown can do the same we just have to twist his arm. My factory tikka stock is 29ozWhat's the Brown weigh? I know the Wildcat is light, but I know they haven't (in the near past anyways) been overly excited about getting them into the US
The Peak 44 Blacktooth is 19-20 oz, pretty light- I think (someone please correct me me if I'm wrong) the TX3 syn stock is 28 oz
Does the stocks weigh more than the factory stock? Looks great!Well I had mine in an XLR and while it was a blast at the range it was just too heavy and bulky for what I’ll likely do with it.
I grabbed a stockys with the discount code they threw us last month and sent the barreled action to LRI to get chopped to 17” and have the barrel and bolt fluted. I’ll shoot it tomorrow for the first time.

How does this rifle shoot? I have been wanting to do something just like this but have heard the SS 7mm-08 have issue with accuracy. Any truth to this?
These things just shoot, shoot easy, no issues. No other brand I’ve owned just continuously works like my tikka.Well I had mine in an XLR and while it was a blast at the range it was just too heavy and bulky for what I’ll likely do with it.
