[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 2533539, member: 31749"] I’ll try and remember to weigh it the next time I have it out of the safe, but if I had to guess it’s probably in the neighborhood of 9 pounds or so, definitely lighter than my 16” AR10 but it’s still a little chonky. I like that though because it tames that last little bit of recoil on this round pretty nicely… it’s still a bit jumpier than my 21lbs match rifle, but the kid shoots it almost as well as his 22. It balances really well though, right in front of the mag well with the can on the end. NPOA is pretty much neutral if I throw it on to my GameChanger bag out of a blind window or off a fence rail. Maybe have to apply a slight amount of forward pressure on the butt to keep it level. If you went fluted or carbon fiber it would shave some weight but I think the balance would suffer, would require way too much input with your shoulder to keep it level which would mean recoil control will also suffer.
