[QUOTE="akmtnhnt, post: 3074008, member: 120824"] Just to show how heavy those carbon barrels are and have no place on ultralight builds, my Douglas featherweight stainless at 18in is 32oz. That's a very large weight savings. We also can't forget the scope. Most scopes people pick are way too heavy for an ultralight build and also have way to much magnification. Ultralight rifles aren't 800y rifles. They're rarely 500 due to the shooter. There's significant weight savings in going ADL style as well 3+oz. For a stock the mpi is lightest. Finished weight is generally around 14oz. But it's not the best for felt recoil or shootability. The echelon is. And can come finished at 16oz if you don't option the crap out of it. I just knocked a pound off that rifle and it'd cost less to boot. [/QUOTE]
