    Wanted to get some numbers thrown out there on what your 3B barreled action (or similar) weighs. With a can, break, or bare bones doesn't matter just post it if you got it.
    Thanks!
     

    This might serve as a good reference...
     
    Similar? A Hawk Hill 3b barrel at 22 inch length is 3 lbs, 12.1 oz. measuring .775 inch right before muzzle threads. Installed on an Impact Precision action with Bix'nAndy Tac Sport Pro trigger, the barrelled action is 6 lbs, 3.9 oz. chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor.

    I installed it in an MPA Ultra-Lite that weighed 2 lbs, 10.3 oz. then added an EVG grip to replace the A2. Total rifle weight with a NF Atacr 4-16x42 and five rounds in magazine is 12 pounds 3.9oz. It is surprisingly quite agile feeling in the hands, probably due to the short overall length and narrower chassis as compared to the MPA Comp. It ended up heavier than I wanted, but I didn't want to go any shorter or lighter on the barrel.

    Here's my 3b setup:

    - Mausingfield action
    - 18" Benchmark 6.5 Creedmoor barrel in a 3b "equivalent" contour chambered by TS Customs
    - KRG Bravo Chassis with ARCA rail
    - Khales K624 with ARC M10 rings
    - empty ARC mag
    - SiCo Omega

    Weight of above: 12.2 lbs

    How do you like the KRG?
    I think it's a great chassis that really punches above it's weight class.

    KRG does a good job with supporting their products with a great accessory line, so you can really dress it up for whatever your objectives are.

    In it's simplist form, it's very lightweight. Balances well with the light(er) barrel I have on it. I also love the ergonomics of this chassis.
