I got a 2B and the smith spun it down to a T3 contour no problems. Very accurate.Quote:

Dont right off the 130 vlds.
inside 250 meters he can use the dirty 30 LMFAO......Quote:

6.5 creed, 2.7kg as you see it. Mag length 130s at 2700 into less than an inch with bugger all buggering around.
Whole thing owes me less than 2 grandhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...800a5d6711.jpg

@Nick-D Nice, what did you cut the barrel length down too?
Done before me, but is 16.5. Feels like a toy in hand.Quote:

Is that 2.7kg scoped and suppressed? they are listed as ~2.55kg bare?Quote:

Yep, chopped barrel which helps, but these stocks have a heavy rubber fill in the stock and grip which drops a good few hundred grams. I just jammed some pool noodle foam back in to keep the noise down. Poor man's ultralighthttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...055ae4c256.jpgQuote:

Nice, I think I was looking at hunter specs, how much weight did taking that foam out save on your Montana?Quote:

Mines a hunter, cant remember exactly but pretty sure it was 350 odd grams worth, definitely significant. more than the weight of the wee vx3 that sits on top. Think i put like 10 grams of foam back in to replace it.Quote:

@25 /08 IMP - What is the weight of your 260 carbonlight?(bare rifle) I have a 7mm mag carbonlight, potentially looking down a similar track to danny
Noticely lighter than a rem mag 2.6kg I thinkQuote:

Can I suggest something that hasn't been mentioned before as an option??? ...... Why not one of the Bergara Extreme Rifles in 6.5CM?? Chuck it in a manners stock and away you go. Ryan on here had one in .308 and he gave it pretty good wraps. he might be able to tell you what it weighed with the manners on it. And the barrel is already threaded and at 18".
I'm sure that will do all that was on your original wish list.
