[QUOTE="OregonHunter2, post: 2307854, member: 71200"] Full disclosure, my first idea is a product I rep, but I would like to end up exchanging ideas that could help all of us shed ounces off our shooting rig. My question is, what are some effective and possibly unorthodox ways to lighten up our hunting irons? It always seems crazy to me that people spend $700 for a carbon stock, $1500 for a titanium action, $800 for a carbon barrel, do all kinds of metal skeletonizing, then hang a 1 pound bipod off the forend. A friend was complaining that our [URL='https://javelinbipod.com/collections/bipods/products/javelin-lite']Javelin Lite[/URL] and [URL='https://javelinbipod.com/collections/bipods/products/javelin-pro-hunt']Pro Hunt bipods[/URL] are expensive, but at only 4-6 ounces, I can't think of more cost-effective way to save weight on his rifle. What kind of out-of-the-box ways have you guys found to lighten up a rifle? [ATTACH type="full"]303395[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
