I Love AI rifles but the only thing that gets me is the weight. Is there a Remington 700 Action I can get that is significantly more lightweight and put it in a AICS?

Re: AICS Lighter weight build?
This is the only way i know of making a AICS lighter, but up mess with the harmonics. i believe the end result was very livable you would have to pm 300sniper. im a firm believer in if it works don't f*** with it, im a Harley manicanic by trade and if the company has put millions of dollars in to designing something it probably works. if you put exhaust on you have to change something else so the bike don't eat its self apart. when you play with a stalk, especially cutting off the metal on a AI you play with the harmonics, it could brake it. but need is the mother of invention and some times you make it better, most you don't. and you void the warranty.

Re: AICS Lighter weight build?
So basically its the Chassis or Frame inside the body that is heavy, not the Receiver and Barrel?

Re: AICS Lighter weight build?
I'd just accept the fact that AICS is a pleasure to shoot but a bitch to carry.

Get a Rem titanium action and pencil barrel?
The barrel will look funny.
AICS and light don't really go together. It <span style="font-style: italic">is</span> a brick of aluminum after all.

I think I might just go with a McMillan TAC-338, looks pretty cool, apparently accurate and 4 lbs less.

Re: AICS Lighter weight build?
when you are comparing a glass stock to an aics, make sure you are including all the hardware, bottom metal and bedding material when you look at the glass stock weight.

Re: AICS Lighter weight build?
I've got a Remington 700 titanium short-action and a 6.5mm carbon-fiber wrapped barrel from the Rock Creek group-buy a while back.
I've been toying with the ideal of a lighter-weight build once the AX AICS becomes publicly available.

Talk to Tom Manners about a light weight T5. Similar feel, and he may be able to make it from Kevlar. Don't know, but it's just a thought. I love the way mine feel. I also run the AICS, which also like very much, but weight is not an issue for what I use it for. Good luck.

I'm thinking about putting a Surgeon action in an McMillan A3-5 Stock, though I don't know how barrels are going to work, I am VERY new to this.

I've noticed this too. That's why I am very careful about humming certain songs while shooting. Just a little off key and my groups totally fall apart.
