This is great! Looks very clean. I’m assuming weight savings was the reason for cutting off some of the forend. If so, how many ounces did you reduce? Do you like the end product?

Weight savings and looks. The short barrel (20") and that long stock just didn't look right to me. I don't recall what that chunk of stock weighed but it couldn't have been much. Swapping out the recoil pad saved more. With a 3-9 vxII ultralite that rig weighs 5lbs 14oz

I only got the barrel on my bolt rifle and I fully did the others. I didn’t want to paint the ATN Thor scope.
