Shooting this same rifle... Love it, but it's a tank, coming in at 11.45 lbs loaded with a bipod and sling Going through the options to lighten it up, as the barrel is starting to get a little iffy... The option I want to go, but may take awhile is to swap the barrel for a shorter carbon barrel to allow for a suppressor. Next would be fluting the bolt, replacing the bipod with a carbon model or ditching it altogether, and putting on a magnesium chassis stock. Anyone have any thoughts on cutting weight with this platform? Action is stainless, and want to keep this rifle weatherproof, so no blued barrels.Been looking at ways to lighten my load. My current rifle is a rem 700 sendero in 300wm, weighing in at about 12lbs unloaded. Tossing around the idea of a new rifle, mainly only considering a tikka or savage in their respective lightweight models. But if there are other options under $1k I’m all ears.
Now that is interesting.Howa super lite 6.5 cm topped with a Swfa ultra light
Looks familiar except re-barrelled to a 243Sweet setup right there!
