[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2606359, member: 52585"] I went a similar direction wanting light weight but not an overall ultra-light rig. My thoughts were to make the rifle come in in the low six's to compensate for the add-ons. Then a suppressor and medium weight scope has the entire rig just under 9 pounds loaded. The build specs are an An-Ti in LA, 20 inch CF barrel, AG stock, NX8, TB Ultra 7 and bi-pod. There's considerable weight to be saved on scope if desired but I'm willing to take that penalty for performance. I could also save a few ounces by going with a Talley style ring / base but again, I love the durability of the Hawkins or Seekins in a pic rail. Same with the can out front, I could shave some weight there and may consider that as well as the bi-pod on my muley hunt this fall. I'm running 180 Hybrids in a 7 SUAM at 2800 getting an Inch at 300 yards. I'll be taking it to 600 very soon. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220820_081759.jpg"]390068[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
