It's a Wildcat composites out of Canada, its actually fibreglass, its a fair bit lighter than any of the more traditional aftermarket offerings, even the carbon ones. No other mods to action or bolt, other than docking the barrel to 15" (to get rid of bad corrosion from previous owner leaving a suppressor on)

Tikka 300BLK 12” ODL can and Trijicon MRO red dot 3kg or
3.6kg with NF compact 2.5-10x42

Tikka 308 16” DPT 7 baffles with NF compact 2.5-10x42 3.7kg

The barrel slight heavy profile is a bit of a killer on that rifle.

Sako 75 Hunter, 6.5x55 SE, 23” barrel, Hardy Stealth, 4-16x44, sling: 5.3kg.

Model 7 708. Standard barrel, dpt over barrel and a vx3 2.5-8 all up 3.3 kg.

It is soon to be sent off to get a heavier barrel 20 inch 6.5 creedmoor barrel and will probably end up with a vx5 3-15 on it.

My latest. 4 in the mag too

Kimber hunter 308, maniatis alpine lite suppressor, 17 inch barrel, vx3 2.5-8x36, Talley rings weighs smack on 6 pounds or 2.7kg

Kimber montana/ascent stock, dpt magnum suppressor, vx5 3-15 weighs 6.7 pound without suppressor and 7.3 pounds (3.32kg) with suppressor

Iv spied them online look neat all right keep the price down by coming unfinished which leaves a lot of options in the world of hydro dipping

M7 260 unaltered ( no supressor) Vixen 2.5 x15 x 50 scope

Scope weight 600 grams
stock weight 650 grams
the rest of it must be 1950 grams
3.2 kg total

Must get it bored out to 7mm looks like I could save some weight there.

Tikka t3x 708 18” barrel. CF stock. Dpt and vx3. Bang on 3.5kg inc full mag and bolt

SFA

2.7kg

Some hunting rifles are just born heavy.
The Mauser 18 being a case in point.

And to make matters worse the mag release mechanism is built into the stock that makes it nigh on impossible to restock with carbon.

I really like mine but its 3.6 kG before adding suppressor, and with the lightest scope possible.
