Re: What's your bolt gun weigh
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: TheGerman</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Simple enough question, but something that I think a lot of people would be surprised in knowing; or finding out the hard way after trying to hump their rifle around hunting all day.
Please list the caliber/make of rifle and how much it weights, unloaded with optics. If you know the weight, but it includes other material items (bipod, supressor, etc) please mention that.

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Tac Ops X-Ray 51</span></span></span>
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Action:</span></span> SA Remington 700
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Caliber:</span></span> .308
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Barrel:</span></span> Tac Ops proprietary chromoly
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Barrel Contour & Length:</span></span> 21.25" from behind-the-lug to the end-of-the-crown, 21.50" to the tip of the thread protector.
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Stock:</span></span> Re-worked and close-fitted McMillan A5 Adjustable w/KMW ACH (Adj. Cheekpiece Hardware). "Sniper fill" weight is standard.
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Bottom Metal type & material:</span></span> Tac Ops proprietary floorplate, 303 Stainless
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Base:</span></span> Tac Ops Two-Piece 40 MOA
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Rings:</span></span> Leupold Mark 4 59320 (steel)
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Scope:</span></span> PMII 5-25X[56] + 2.0" USO ARD (aluminum)
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Bipod Mounting type:</span></span> ACCU-SHOT BT28 AFAR Rail (aluminum)
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Total Weight:</span></span> 16.0 lbs. with KMW ACH and 21.50" barrel. Standard X-Ray has non-adjustable stock and barrel length of 18-20", so my rifle is probably about 1.5-1.6 lbs. heavier than the average X-Ray 51 setup with the same scope, rings, and base.
<span style="font-weight: bold">NOTE:</span> If I attach a Larue LT706 + Harris BRM-S (6-9" Notched Swivel) to the BT28 the weight increases to 16.8 lbs. If I also attach a Tac Ops Stock Pack with a pair of Red Tac Gear LT Tool Packs loaded with a cut down 1/2" wrench and TorX T15 for the rings, hex wrenches for the bottom metal, BT28, PMII Turret, Larue tension-adjustment wrench, Lens Pen, and ear plugs the weight increases to 17.4 lbs <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">without ammo in the eight [8] ammo loops.</span></span>
Also, Leupold 34mm Mark 4 High Rings (Leupold P/N #59320) are 1.06" tall and weigh exactly 9.9 oz. coated in Green-T & Black-T. Seekins 34mm High Rings are .970" weigh exactly 4.9 oz. coated in Green-T & Black-T (i.e. 5 oz. less, or half of the weight of Mark 4 59320 Highs').
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Tac Ops X-Ray 51 is 16.8 lbs. as shown (16.0 lbs. without bipod):</span></span>
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Tac Ops X-Ray 51 is 17.4 lbs. as shown (A bunch of tools + Lens Pen and ear plugs BUT NO AMMO IN LOOPS):</span></span>
Hope this helps.
