[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2660896, member: 93138"] Not sure that I understand this statement. There is SP 7.62x39 ammo available, or are you excluding this caliber [B][I]because[/I][/B] there is SP ammo available? FWIW I built exactly one of these, a Howa Mini in 7.62x39 to be a lightweight rifle. [B]Scoped[/B] and with a sling, Devcon AL putty bedded w/ AL pillars in a highly modified Boyd's laminate it is under 6.9 lbs. No metal scalloping, and the only exotic metal in it are the Ti action screws. Even has a DIP aluminum bottom metal. I cut down a factory mag to make it as close to flush fitting as possible. With a full mag (3 rnds.) it is likely right at or just a little tiny bit under 7 lbs. I hate to use the phrase "inherently accurate", but the rifle does seem to know what your target is and works with you to hit it. Anyway, that would be my truck rifle should I need one. [/QUOTE]
