[QUOTE="TC338, post: 1689849, member: 92112"] Here’s mine that I just got back from my smith. Manners MCST-A, bartlein #3 finished at 24” plus brake. PTG bottom metal, WTO switchlug and Hawkins two port brake. Total weight of bare rifle is 10.2lbs on my bathroom scale. One thing that you probably already know, but maybe not, is the threads on a Howa are metric, and lots of Smith’s I talked to wouldn’t work on them. Also the steel used for them is harder than most. I know Kampfeld will work on them and has some pretty cool looking lightening cuts they can do to shave weight. Mine started life as a .308 but is now a 6.5 creedmoor. I’m hoping to have a .223 trainer barrel and bolt set up later this year and a magnum set up once Howa releases their new 6.5 PRC. [/QUOTE]
