This is out of my Vangard in 270 with the tupperware and now the LSS XL Both are only 3 shots It has a timney at 2ish pounds and now the chassis. I had some issues at first because the thin barrel needs to be damped so I put a Limbsaver barrel thingy on it and kept trimming it on the bottom to fit between the barrel and the chassis forend. The group. The tupperware shot well but the zero wandered around with temp. The redfield target was after confirming dope to 650 I brought it back to 100yds(200 yd ero) and forgot I had.1 right wind dialed. The other was cold bore and 2 follow up shots Xmas day. It weighs the same without the bag rider and folder and 4oz more with the folder piece. I think my bagrider is 2 pounds but haven't weighed it yet. It is a piece of antenna off my boat 4" long filled with melted lead with a 10x32 SS machine screw epoxied into it.
Shooting lightweight guns well demands perfect because there is no weight to help control the recoil pulse or keep it steady on target. I typically sling up with this rifle off the bipod and forego the rear bag.
