[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2332026, member: 52585"] No but I own a tenacity and anti in AG stocks with VX6-HDs. The gray rifle below is a tenacity, AG stock and steel barrel in standard magnum contour. With the VX6-HD 6-24x52 in Seekins and bipod it just touches 10 pounds. I could shave some weight with a lighter scope and rings but I really like the combo. The suppressed rifle is an anti with a thin Cf barrel at 21 inches in an AG stock. It's weighs 9.0 with a VX6-HD 3-18x44, bipod and TABC Ultra 7. The rifle pictured above is from the APR website and is stated at 7.4 pounds on a tenacity and 24 inch proof sendero in 6.5 prc. There's opportunity to drop 8 ounces with an anti action. The barrel will drop weight with a 338 tube but gain a little with additional length. It's really not too hard to build a magnum at 7-7.5 pounds at 26 inches in a proof sendero or magnum contour steel barrel. Imo-the added weight typically comes from heavy and long steel barrels, heavy stocks and heavy scopes. Everything is a tradeoff when cutting ounces. My plan is 9ish pounds in a 338 boomer with a good brake. [ATTACH type="full"]309892[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]309893[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]309894[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
