I just rounded that figure it was actually around 230 grams, but still a good saving on an already light rifle. Just did some quick calcs. It weighed in at 2.472 kg before I removed the gel, now down to 2.237kg or 4.9 pounds.
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
