    I had the opportunity to spend a day hunting with a mates R8. By the end of the day I was ready to throw it down a bank! Cool engineering but way too heavy. I now own an R93 with Christensen Carbon stock, fluted attache barrel, Delta suppressor topped with March 2.5-25x42 scope. Neat light weight rig... just waiting on one of those Neopod bipods to complete the light weight blaser package. Might invest in a carbon wrapped barrel in the future.

    So how heavy are these R8 compared with the R93?

    Just curious, what does it weigh without bipod? The R93, that is.
