[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1519679, member: 94491"] "ar10/LR308" chassis have more reciprocating weight in the BCG--also short barrels in light weight chassis have quite a bit of muzzle flip--you can get 1/2 moa from an AR large frame chassis but it takes more work to achieve and you do loose a little bit of MV over a bolt action due to the "gas loss" in an AR chassis I have a lightweight prototype 16" fully scoped LR308 that weighs in at 6.88pounds with the 3-9 scope on it (right about 6 pounds bare) , shoots 3/4 moa with hand loads but it took quite a bit of tinkering with the load and learning how to shoot a lightweight gas gun before I could do that--taming the recoil is do-able, taming the muzzle flip is challenging --plus the short barrel really limits the cartridge potential guy on another forum has an lr308 down to just under 4 pounds, so you can make them light ( but that light is extremely expensive) [/QUOTE]
