It currently weighs 2.880 kgs, 6.35lbs all up as shown in the pics :cool:

I'm waiting for an even lighter stock with a better recoil pad :ORLY:

It is a Titanium action with 24" Lilja fluted barrel in 7-375 Ruger, Talley rings & VX3 4.5-14x40 CDS scope.

It happily pushes the 162 Amaxs at 3150 fps, it will go harder but I want to take it easy on the brass & action, Titanium is softer than SS & won't last forever.....

Recoil is quite brisk....:ORLY:

I'm looking forward to getting the replacement stock, bedding it & assulting some rocks etc getting to know how it works.

I don't think my shoulder is though :oh noes: :P:D

I finally got the new stock on today, I've had it for a while but have been pretty busy with other projects :)

She weighs 2.795 Kgs now 6.16lbs all up.

My shoulder is waiting patiently to see what the felt recoil is like with the Limbsaver fitted :D

I will have a play with it this weekend, along with others I have to do work on.

do you struggle with any paralax issues out to 700m with that scope and no ability to adjust for paralax?

I haven't had a problem with them.

I tested one ages ago at around 1000 yards & there only appeared to be IIRC 4-5" max from top of the scope sight picture to the bottom, that is worst case senario, generally it isn't that hard to get the eyebox in the middle of the scope.

A decent cheek weld & position should minimise it even more.

I have shot past 1000 with one on my 6.5wsm on several occasions with incredible accuracy so the parallex issue seems to be a storm in a teacup with my rifle & scope combos ?
