[QUOTE="ARlife4me, post: 2950642, member: 105694"] Possibly on to something about muzzle diameter! I would go with a larger (or just large enough) muzzle diameter based on cartridge. Same goes for AR's! Having 2 short mags, none are pencil or sporter muzzle diameters and profiles. Also opted on not doing a .750" gb and going .875" minimum with modified socom profile. Still, you have a fairly light weight @ 11# 5.2oz w/optic. Another thing is with the same profile AND having a larger bore it WILL be less weight than smaller bores. How much different should only be ozs depending on length. I did a 28" heavy socom profile (7saum spiral fluted) @ 62.33ozs and a 22" hbar (6.5prc) @ 68.01ozs. Crazy that the shorter barrel weighed that much less. Without the flutes on the 28" it would be a little closer to the same weight as the 22" or fluting the 22" it could be closer to the same as the 28" with flutes. I did a 7-08 (from the same maker of the 6.5prc) in a 22" lightweight that weighed @ 45.96ozs. Profile alone was 22.05ozs less (bore difference probably less than 1oz) [/QUOTE]
