Thread: Where to trim weight (rifle)

If you have a carbon barrel and carbon stock there isn't much you can do to easily drop weight other than in the scope.

The rifle is just over 10lb which honestly isn't a bad stop to be. It's clearly not a rifle you'll e doing any bush stalking in and weight is actually a good thing as far as stability goes for taking longer range shots.

A shorter barrel is probably the best place to start but as it is carbon you won't be able to chop it.
A lighter stock would be the next place but for longer range shooting you want a decent stock.

Personally I'd get a decent 2 point sling and attach it via QD studs on the side of the rifle(AR15 style). You can then wear the rifle to take the additional weight and still have the ability to take a shot quickly.
