My rifle started out as a LTR Light Tactical Rifle. But, wanting a trued action and a 22" Bartlein barrel, and a SF muzzle brake I sent the gun out to GAP. I weighed it today, 16.15 Lbs with NF F1 scope, Bi-pod and TAB sling. I did not want to bring a loaded magazine into the friendly PAK MAIL place to use their scale. The gun shoots and is a pleasure for me and my 13 y.o.son to shoot.

I am not 100% sure of the contour but it measures .998 just behind the MB.

My question is how Heavy are most .308 Tactical precision rifles?

Thanks.

Re: Rifle Weight

Can't say on .308, but my TRG-42 is 17 pounds, all up. Including bi-pod, monopod, loaded mag, brake, and sling.

Re: Rifle Weight

Ditch the aics and get a manners t-5 thumbhole and loose 3lbs


I shoot for 12 to 14 lbs in my guns

That means sendero and palma barrels
 
Re: Rifle Weight

This LTR with factory (fluted) barrel, NF 5.5-22x56, Seekins Aluminum rings, Harris bipod with Podlock, Karsten cheek rest, full size H&S Precision stock, duracoated, unloaded, and no sling, weighs in at 12.3 LBS. With tac sling and ammo, it would be right at 13 LBS

Re: Rifle Weight

My .223 weights in with everything on it about 16.5 pounds (22" standard Palma barrel). A little heavy but accurate and stable. I even carry it around woodchuck hunting becouse it shoots so well and is fun to shoot.
