Thread: T3x Lite vs Superlite

can't feel any weight difference between the two rifles, i'd grab the t3x lite if your planning to cut down to 16".

I’m going to take a different view. I have had several T3s and every one has been a Lite. The weight saving of a Superlite is very minimal and will be even less if you chop it. The extra weight in the barrel, albeit small will reduce barrel flip to some degree and will be stiffer. Less of an issue with .223 for sure, but still an issue

I built a .284 Win Superlite for a friend which is definitely less accurate than mine built on a Lite.

Anyway, it’s your choice, and good luck with it.

Cheers.

If it's a new rifle, just buy a T3x Bush Hunter with a factory 16 inch barrel.

.223 not .308 and the bush hunters heavier again with the fatter barrel

Yes, sorry, it was meant as a general comment rather than directed at the OP. It is odd that Beretta put the D18 barrel on that rifle, but I understand their motives.

Most Superlight barrels are 2" longer than Finnlight...I could be wrong tho.
Either way the quality should be the same.

Well I’m sorted lads. Going to grab the ‘elite’ that @6.5 CRD offered up. A good shooter too by all accounts, looking forward to it!
