Re: .308 BCG weight
The JP low mass 308 BCG weighs around 5 ounces less than a standard BCG if you are looking to lose some weight.

It's pricey. You better be sure and get an adjustable gas block from them too.

Yes, they do charge a lot for it. Part of building a lighter rifle and from what I understand a bit smoother function and a better bolt. I'll have a Seekins adjustable gas block.
I do appreciate the advice though...helps avoid overlooking anything important.

Re: .308 BCG weight
What's your weight goal (if there's a goal instead of just an accounting of weight), and what's your end duty for this weapon?
I've been trying to come up with a few good ways of offsetting some weight for the suppressor I've theoretically got coming, and smoothing out the function of my DPMS...

Without being utterly ridiculous and compromising reasonable reliability, I'm trying to get down to as little as 7.5 lbs. This is a rifle meant for hunting and medium distance (300-600) target shooting. Right now, my best guesstimate is around 7.75.

Re: .308 BCG weight
That's going to be a really carry-able rifle once you hit that weight. My SASS weights 11.5 lbs before scope/sling/ammo, not my favorite hunting rifle...

Re: .308 BCG weight
Aside from weight, I'm really looking forward to a shorter barrel. I don't mind a rifle fully loaded out with scope/bipod hitting 10.5 lbs. or so. But more than that and more than 20" of barrel are not great for working through heavy cover or taking any but prone shots.
