    Light weight build is done!
    6.5PRC… Now I worry this is gonna hurt…
     
    That’s an awesome rig! How do you like that chassis? I’ve been thinking about one of those…
    Theyre absolutely bitchin. Really well done all around. Not only is it way lighter than any conventional stock equipped with these same features, the lines and contours are great. It doesn't feel like youre carrying a giant hunk of boxy/square aluminum.

    Would you mind shooting a pic of it inserted. Bottom, side, etc. im aware of that mag, just never fondled one.
    Here you go , it fits 3 prc or saum but is a a little too tight for 3rds of 7SS.

    Without the can it’s got a bit of snap to it, it doesn’t hurt you but it does jump with that slim chassis on it. With the can the damn thing barely moves, mine weighs 9# 9oz as it sits with the current wood grip instead of the carbon fiber one in this picture.

    Thats a nice weight, I have the Razor Gen 2 3-18, bitch is heavy!

    It’s going to be lighter soon, waiting to get back my 18” barrel which will shave 6 oz off it plus get a lighter scope for it. That should shave another 7 to 10oz off it depending on which 1 to x power scope I put on it. Debating the NX8 1-8 or the Gen 3 1-10x as it is primarily used for deer hunting in PA where shots range from 10 to 500+ yards but most are sub 200.

    I have a brand new Gen3 1-10x...
    Thinking about letting it go...
     
    My Tikka 6.5 PRC recoils like a 6.5 creedmoor. It does so because the barrel is so slow that it pushes 140gr class projectiles at creedmoor velocities. My 24” barrel shoots factory Precision Hunter ammunition at 2820 fps. I need to find powder and pick up dies so I can seat out long for the long throated Tikka and fill the case. That ought to do it.
