This gun wasn’t setup to be lightweight by any means.
PSA Upper/Lower
Mixture of Radian/Geisselle components
18” FN SS barrel
5-20x50 SWFA
8.4# unloaded. I’m not upset about it, this setup is a power line/gas line gun for quick shots from 20-400 yards. Typically out of blinds or tripod stands.
My son and I have killed a lot of deer and antelope with a little 6.8 SPC I built him for his first hunting rifle. It’s probably 6.5 lbs, small, easy to pack around, and that little 6.8 round does great on deer size game.
I put together a 6 ARC a couple years ago, it’s not lightweight but it is insanely accurate. I’ll definitely bring it along on my next rifle antelope hunt.
Come on, half of these things aren't even black...WTF!?!?
I may as well chime in. These are repeat pictures, but my bolt rifles haven't been in the field for a couple years now. The black rifles are winning me over as well.
The 223 thread was pivotal for me in deciding these could replace my 308/30-06 and make the same shots on the same game as I have with them. So far, so good.
