Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

Any new records for low weight or new developments for the buttstock?

I haven't tried to get below the 2# 10oz rifle I built last year, for personal use anyway. Not sure if anyone else has gone beyond that. @packgoatguy ?

I think pack goat guy was at an impressive 28oz without can or optic with a 10” Bbl.
No sling needed, he probably carry’s that thing in his front shirt pocket.

Wow. That is impressively light. I still want to build one at some point.

How do the 6x45 barrels function with that solo upper? Any extraction issues?

6x45 will extract fine

ARC has been extracting fine for me. I haven’t run with my 6 or 22 ARC on a Solo which is tighter and harder to cycle. I’m using a BCA side charge and Warwick tactical side charge.

ARC barrels are not as light as 6x45 but you have better bullet options with factory ammo or brass available.
For a bunch of money I think you could get a 22-23 oz ARC barrel 16”. 30 oz is easy and cheap, 27ish is the lightest readily available I have found.
