[QUOTE="ducky, post: 1965424, member: 94420"] Finally got the rifle range ready, mounted up a scope this morning. Still going to give the bedding a little longer to cure before taking it out. The Accustock was buggered up by someone who tried to make it fit a standard recoil lug, so I had to bed. Right now with the scope mounted it weighs in at 10 lbs 4.4 oz suppressed, but the scope is just temporary until I can find exactly what I want. Right now I'm looking at Bushnell LRTS 4.5-18X44 or NF SHV 4-14X50 and they'll add quite a bit more weight. I was going to go with a lighter optice since my original goal was to be sub 10 lbs suppressed, but the 18" X-Caliber barrel still came in heavier than I planned. So I've given up and just going with the NF or Bushnell as I've wanted to try both optics.
