All good, I understand that. It's a Leophoto 364 C with a cheap Desmond 75mm half ball and Amazon Arca clamp

Second one.
6.5 creed
Full ti action and bolt.
Had pierce do everything they could in ti even firing pin.
Makers eh5
Proof 22" 1/8 with ti break.
Hammer 124gr hunter.
Bushnell elite 6500 2.5-16 scope
Total package under 7lbs if my memory serves.
Every part was found to be light. Even the recoil pad. Magpul plastic bottom metal.

Had time to get some photos of my rifles yesterday. Here is my other 6.5SS that I am currently running. Built by Axisworks.
R700SA BDL
PT&G fluted bolt
25.75" 1:8" Bartlein spiral fluted #3b w. Axisworks mini brake
McMillan Game Scout
Timney CE @ 10oz
PT&G Oberndorf BDL
Wyatt's extended box
Tactical Works CF knob
PT&G alloy bolt shroud
Seekins alloy 20MOA Picatinny rail
Seekins 34mm low rings
S&B PMII 5-25×56 DT w. H2CMR
Flatline Ops level
The stock paint job was a rush before a hunt last fall. It will be getting a new one, something like Kuiu Vias, this summer.
My new one has 80% of the parts in hand, but two major ones in production.

Lone Peak Fuzion TI SA full Nitride (in production)
26" 1:7.5" Proof Research Sendero light (in hand)
4 port Lil' Beast brake (in hand)

Timney Calvin Elite (in hand)
Tactical Works carbon fiber bolt knob (in hand)

What did the weight come out to?

7.4lbs before the scope and rings. So it's somewhere in the 9.5lb range dressed. I don't have an accurate scale to weigh it with just going off manufacturers weight specs.
