[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1707001, member: 54383"] You can get down to that weight but it’s hard not to make cuts. My pack rifle is 6.5 lbs. but I wanted certain things that would weigh a bit more so I spent money elsewhere to save weight. I have a pierce action In ti. That bolt firring pin and lug. Proof carbon 22” tube. Now I added weight by using a manners eh5 thumbhole cause I liked it so you can shave weight with that. Also used a bit heavier scope because I wanted to be able to take game at 600 yards and pigs farther. So I added a 2.5-16 scope. So yes you can get lite and functional for some long range but it will cost you. I also have a 300 yards and under. It will actually reach out farther but that was not the intent and 400 would push it I bet. I took a hows mini 6.5 Grendel and had twisted cut all the weight possible. Then topped it with the swfa ultra light at 9 ounces. Haven’t Weighed it yet but it’s lite. Hold about moa at 300 with factory ammo loads coming soon. [/QUOTE]
