    Haha. A bit of an oxymoron there with and why not the latest ultra-light weight Blaser Carbon BiPod?. That GRS configuration looks like a heavy pie diet.

    Hope the twist rate isn't retardo. I might be convinced to keep my R8 chassis for a .338LM barrel.

    The TAC-2 barrels are 1/10.
    Essentially having been there before it shouldn't be a foreign concept you'd have to hope.
