Two years ago I built my first custom, it’s also my only magnum caliber big game rifle in 7PRC. The gun shoots great and I killed a nice bull elk (my first) with it Nov 2024, but otherwise it goes to the range only occasionally.

Kelbly Atlas Tactical Action
Preferred Barrel Blanks 24” Stainless Varmint/Sendero Contour (total 400 rounds)
Trigger Tech Special
KRG Bravo with light Arca Rail and minimalist spigot mount
Burris XTR III 5.5-30X56, FFP SCR 2 Mil reticle
ARC M Brace one-piece scope mount

I love the action and everything about the gun except the weight. It easily shoots .5-.7” with factory ammo (when I don’t flinch). Here is my dilemma, It weights 15.3 lbs with my Nomad L on the end. Not exactly heavy enough for regular precision work with a magnum, and too heavy to comfortably hunt with it where walking and hiking are required., To be honest, I only big game hunt a once, maybe twice year and most of the time I’m pretty close to the truck (2-4 mile walk max, usually less). I do shoot long range (out to 1367 yards currently) for fun and competition, but I have dedicated precision guns in 6.5CM and 6CM for that.

I’m wondering what to do-

Option 1- Keep the gun as is and just deal with the weight for my limited use. Maybe a sling would help with carrying? I guess I could drop 1.1 pounds (from the muzzle) by leaving the suppressor at home, but I like the sound and recoil reduction.
Option 2- Sell the Kelbly altogether and buy a new Seekins PH3 (approx $1900),and save about 4 lbs without swapping anything else. I love the Seekins stuff and already own a couple.
Other options-
Keep the Kelbly, swap the Preferred stainless barrel a Proof Carbon 24” barrel and save almost 2lbs ($1000)
Switch to lighter rings ($200) and save .5lb
Sell the Bravo and swap to a Manners LRH Stock ($1000) and save another 1.2lbs or so.
Sell the Burris and switch to a lighter hunting scope? Cost? Weight savings?
Option 4- Any other ideas?

Just want to make sure I’m not missing some other options that would save weight at a reasonable cost. Thank you!

For sale is a used Burris RT15. I had it on a 6.5 for about 20rds, then it went my loaner NRL22 rifle. I upgraded the optic on that rifle so this one is for sale. Slight ring marks and idiot marks on the windage cap (I'm the idiot). Rings were always properly torqued when mounted. I have everything it came with originally.

I am looking for a reloading tray that allows you to nicely place cases mouth down. I have been using the cardboard trays from lapua packaging and really like being able to set the cases in the tray mouth down for certain parts of my process but would like to find something a little more durable/long term and am hoping somebody on here has a recommendation. Mostly load 6.5creed and 308 for reference.
Thanks in advance!

I recently put a 20” Shaw barrel on one of my Ar15’s. At the same time a Geissele ssa-e x trigger. I am very pleased with the accuracy and light recoil. Only using store bought ammo 32 grain. I have killed 7 coyotes with it recently and even 200 plus yard shots. I like it much better than the 18” 556 ba barrel that was on it. Now I am addicted to night hunting and go out almost every night.

262 yards. That’s a record for me. I know that’s not a big deal to lots of folks. I also got a sturdy tripod and am doing much better.
