[QUOTE="mindcrime, post: 870289, member: 656"] 30 lbs. WITHOUT Optics. It is a long, stiff, HEAVY barrel. My ONLY hindsight change I would have done, is that I wish I would have went with a 29" Medium Palma Contour instead of the 29" MTU/AMU Contour (would have LOVED a Carbon Wraped Barrel; but OMG, EXPENSIVE!!!).......I believe it would have ballanced perfectly then. My thoughts at the time was that if it was good enough for the Marines, well then now. ;) My original thoughts WERE the Medium Palma. In either way of thinking, Kirby did an excellent job with an action that he was not very familiar with at all, and had a heck of a time just separating the factory barrel from the action. 'Tis the sign of a exceptional gunsmith. Now all I need is some GOOD 30mm Glass, and that will take a while since I am paying off my back surgery. Still I am a proud Papa, and am patiently waiting to pay off bills to get a Leupold or Nightforce (1st choice). [/QUOTE]
