[QUOTE="sierra22, post: 321838, member: 949"] Looked over the rifle tonight, it's still ok with Duracote (I only clean the barrel these days) but it is slipping where I didn't do proper surface preparation. This was expected. Does anyone have experience with Cerakote? Put the rifle on the scales, have failed slightly in my 3,5kg statement but can't really see how I could have built it much different either. Wasn't willing to use a very short or pencil thuin barrel. Would've had to pick up a slimmer Kimber for less weight I think. It's almost a system rifle (not a true system rifle, but poor mans version) and depending on the configuration/barrel it weighs: Assassin 4,352 kg. This is the use-all-opportunities configuration with a 4-16x50 PMII and moderator. Stalker 3,919 kg. As seen in the hunting blog. This is mostly for recreational hunting with a Zeiss 2,5-10x42 and moderator. Alpine 3,469 kg. Only configuration that makes the weight limit; with Swaro 3-9x36. System components weigh: Rifle 3,005 kg PMII 1,066 kg Zeiss 0,633 kg Swaro 0,464 kg Moderator 0,28 kg The Sako Forester action weighs 1,050 kg. Will post pics later.... [/QUOTE]
