I’m sitting on a manners MCS-T waiting to get my hands on a Bighorn tl3 and proof/savage profit 20”
Cool setup , I’ve got its right handed brother in the safe ,only difference is bartlein barrel
nice... is that a 22” tube? What’s it weigh?

I would really, I mean REALLY like to try the 6.5 PRC. Still debating it or a 260 ai for the cheapskate in me at some point in the near future.
I'll try to find time to weigh it when I get in. It's light enough though without the weights in the hybrid chassis to take coyote hunting with ease.
I have a build due back to me in the next few weeks. Proof carbon barrelled version of my current 7mmSAW on a tempest action in a PRS2 stock etc. Ran with an 8.4 twist over an 8 for the carbon proof barrel on this build though.
The current build weighs just over 12lb so I’m interested to see what this one comes back at with the carbon barrel, 3-20x PM2 over the 5-25x and a DBM instead of the current mini chassis.

Mine is basically the same. 6.5 PRC, Sendero Proof, and mpa hybrid. It’s right at 13.8#
6.5 prc proof sendero built on a Curtis vector. In a manners MCS-TA. 10lbs 6 oz with the brake.
All these pics are making me want a CF wrapped barrel.

All up with three round 10.6lbs
I believe it's 22". I'll have to check weight as well. It has the manners chassis, so it's not lightweight but definitely good enough for hunting.

What barrel contour and caliber? That looks nice.
I don't know what contour it's called. I ordered it from Mile High. It is beefy! Caliber is 300 win mag.

Not a Proof but a Hardy Carbon finished at 24.5"

Total weight with bipod attached is about 13 pounds
Loved the look of Proof but couldn't get my hands on one when I built the rifle
Really need to get some better pics of my rifle one of these days.

How did you get it to 23.5?
Can't say for sure , I took in on a trade last summer. It measure 23.5" from the lug face to the muzzle. No big deal , it sends 180 Hybrids at 2925 and the accuracy is ridiculous.
Well as fas as i know proof only makes their carbon into even numbers length..but measuring from lug isnt really the true length
Thread that goes inside the action still part of the barrel..make sense that probably 24"

You're most likely correct, it's my only Proof and I didn't spec the build . Either way I'm not disappointed with any aspect of the rifle .

Shot DRT approx 450y full run off RRS Tripod - not a shot I was comfortable taking my son wax’d it I think he said he lead 10 mills (but I don’t exactly remember).
Gun is fun to shoot and about 11-1/2 with a carbon Spartan Tripod

Finally got some better lighting to do this beauty some justice. Spartan Precision builds hammers!!
