That is a sweet gun. Almost exactly what I was looking to do. I have shifted gears a little and am getting a sig sauer cross and then taking all the weight out of it I can. I used my behind the seat gun for my truck this year on my rifle hunt and it is a sig cross in 308 and I loved how compact it was being able to if I want put it in my backpack so it did not hook up on brush or anything. The biggest part I am struggling with is nobody builds a carbon hand guard for it to help lighten it up.

Did you end up lightening your sig cross? This is something I’ve been heavily contemplating to make the lightest cross I can.
Folding stocks have really appealed to me for the only reason that when it is strapped to your pack it does not hang lower than the bottom of the bag and simultaneously not flagpoleing.
