Thread: DIY webbing spray on rifle stock

That is including Talleys, bolt and magazine but no scope or suppressor.

If I add 285g suppressor (dpt) and vx3hd 2.5-8x36 (323g) it will come in at just over 6 pounds but then by the time I loose 6 inches of barrel approximately 120g it will be bang on 6 pounds ready to go. Well that's the goal anyway and I reckon it's well and truely achievable.

My 308 with gel removed a 17” barrel
Maniatis alpine lite
Leupold 4-12

2778 gm

Honestly still think that's an epic allrounder. Reasonable barrel length, short overall length, plastic stock that's not to stressed about scratching up and lightweight. Down here though the extra few inch of barrel is a happy trade for the suppressor in open country and my 7mm is pretty rugged nowadays. Hope your enjoying it

Yes put a Leupold Freedom on it as to be honest optically
It doesn’t give a lot up to the euro 1inch tubes.

I reckon it looks nice compared to factory. I duno why they chose that brown colour for the hunter.
