    Damn it your 65g lighter than mine, even with a bigger whole in the barrel (6x45).
    I'm going out to the shed to grind some weight off the VX3.

    I'm brainstorming at the moment how to get something nice and light, possibly a Howa carbon barreled action sent off to Hi Tec for a carbon stock?

    Very nice!

    So I've been tinkering and much like @micky_Duck I have two rifles that need re zeroing/checking.

    Changed the scope and rings on the Tikka 7mm08 and it's now at 3.2kg with the suppressor on. Took the viper and Talley rings off and put on a Bushnell elite 3-9x40 with Tikka alloy rings instead.

    Took the rem mag apart to weigh the individual parts and if I change to a carbon stock and Talley rings ( replace the Warne steel 30mm ones on there) I would save 730 grams. Change from a Hardy gen 5 stealth to a brake and I'm down another 350 grams. It wouldn't be suppressed anymore but a damn site nicer to carry lol so for an investment of $1200, it'd still be heavier than a Tikka t3

    I've got a Howa Lightweight 308, which really isn't that lightweight... What would make more difference to me when it comes to carrying a rifle is losing 20kg of fat....
