[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1917510, member: 94491"] You can easily spend $1500-2500 if you payretail, we searches and sales drop your prices--- BUT just websearching for weights will save you even more -- you'll find "off brand" parts that are not advertised as "lightweight" can save you tons of money and still drop weight. It takes more time web surfing than it does $ . Toolcraft ti carrier is light and much cheaper than big name brands, " sport" uppers with no fa or port cover are super light and only about $90 on sale. I found the 2 largest weight savings but most expensive parts are the barrel, stock and handguard-- some guys make ultralight cf handguards themselves with CF tubing and alum barrel nuts from ebay . For off the shelf light weight deer hunting the bar is a quick and easy decision-- if you enjoy building and researching then the ar chassis might be for you as it's more "adaptable" and changeable in the future...just think, a change to 7-08, 6.5cm, 243, etc are only a 15 minute barrel swap project with no gs required. Good luck, as long as you are happy in the end and enjoy the process , it's what matters. [/QUOTE]
