Meant mainly for the bench Yanno, I don't really consider a 9# rifle to be terribly heavy. Of course, I've never had to march 30 miles with one. I think the longest distance I marched with a M1903 (9.2Lbs) was maybe 2 or 3 miles (no, I'm not the last survivor of WW1, just a survivor of a military academy) . I get why hunters want light rifles and all but shaving off 2# does not seem like a significant lightening of the burden. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would take a well balanced 9lb gun over a front heavy 7lb gun.. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

louu 399 Posted December 15, 2017 The 3 gun rig, I don't even want to think about how much money is sitting there. Just about every part on here is from a company that sponsors 3 gun matches and alot of the parts came from the prize table. Gun has absolutely zero felt recoil. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use the lower from the top rifle, upper from the bottom rifle - so you end up with an A2 stock and railed front end. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
