(SCOPE SOLD)
RIFLE AND AMMO AVAIABLE.
This is a "Bolt Action", side charging AR, there is NO gas system (CA LEGAL!). Without optic it weighs 3lbs 4oz. With the SWFA 2-10x32 it comes in right at 4lbs. Half the weight of your average "light" hunting rifle!!
I built it this year to make the "worlds lightest" practical hunting rifle. It is an absolute dream to carry in the field. I killed a small buck and large black bear with it this season. It easily shoots under 2moa in field positions. With no muzzle break I was spotting shots at 400y, shot a couple 5" groups at 450yards . This is the perfect 400y killing stick.
I used the absolute lightest AR parts on EARTH! Or at least, the lightest I could find after MANY hours of research. Sourced from many different stores.

Parts List:
$70-Aero Precision Ultralight Scope Mount
$475-Xcaliber Barrel, 16" 1/8 5R Spaghetti contour, stainless 1/2x28 muzzle threads, no gas port, Cryogenic treated.
$100-Aero Precision Slick upper receiver. Was machined to accommodate side charging handle.
$160-DSA Aluminum enhanced BCG, modified with Titanium to accept a side charging handle.
$110-Rubber City 6.5 Grendel bolt.
$50-FMK polymer lower receiver.
$240-Smoke Composites Carbon Fiber Buttstock assembly.
$30-Smoke Composites aluminum Barrel nut.
$60- Custom Carbon Fiber hand guard.
$20-Smoke Carbon Fiber End Plate.
$20-Smoke Composites Aluminum castle nut.
$35- New Frontier Polymer Lower parts kit.(I love the trigger on this, breaks a little under 3lbs)
$20- Taccom ultralight Polymer buffer.
$20-Hogue 15deg grip.
$60- V seven Titanium Micro brake.
$$-Titanium, aluminum or polymer were used to replace any small steel parts.
Comes to $1470 on my calculator, not including tax or shipping on any of the listed parts.

Selling with 6 Boxes of Hornady Black ELDM 123gr.
$1150 Shipped to your FFL.
Or $950 for rifle only. $200 for ammo only.

I enjoyed reading your thread on this rifle and was happy to see you hunted with it and were successful.

GLWS! Are you selling it to fund a new build?

Thanks man. Not selling for another build but for another purchase.
I'm not very excited to sell it and may change my mind any minute. Wish I was one of those guys who never sells guns. Thats a good way to be.

Will consider separating the scope and rifle. $999 for the rifle, $399 for scope and mount. Shipped

Awesome rifle and build. Worth every penny.

I wonder what the weight would be with a shorter barrel and a folding brace. Did you consider that?

Thanks. No, I wouldn't want a shorter barrel as the velocity would be too low for 300y shots. On game...

You cannot find a lighter centerfire rifle for sale.
I should have titled the add "Lightest Centerfire Rifle". That would have turned more heads...;)
