That's beautiful what's the length on that

Mines wearing an 18" barrel, with suppressor it's approximately 26"

20 in 300 prc?? How do you like it that's what I'm thinking for my next hunting rig! Looking to go 20-22 in 300 prc. What kind of velo are you getting

I run 10-15lbs rifles. If you run a non-traditional sling, it's not that big of a deal. The only down side, in my eyes, shooting off-hand isn't easy.

Get yourself one of these and enjoy hiking with a rifle:

I, when I was younger and in pretty darn good shape…..was running sub 3 hr. marathons 6 years before. I did a 10+ mile (each way) backpack hunt, carrying an 11+ pound rifle. That one trip convinced me that a lighter rifle would be in my near future.

Presently, the past 34 years, I've found that 9 pounds is a decent compromise between portability and shootability was a rifle of fairly heavy recoil (60 ft/lbs). This is total weight, scoped, loaded, & slung….never use a brake or suppressor!

At distance, I seem to be able to spot impacts….maybe not so much on close shots. memtb

+1, well said
