Ok get rid of the following the stock, scope,mags,front sight,,hand guard, and get a stock M4 stock, a 4 to 10 scope, 16 power on a hunting gun is way overboard a 3x9 is even better,front sight and gas block combo like a A2 sight or a low profile get a carbon hand guard they weigh 6 oz at most, the rifle in the pictures below weights 8 lbs 8 oz with no ammo I only load 5 rds at a time in a 10 rounder....I hump it all day and it is dead nuts accurate at 450 and that is a long hunting shot...the proof is in the pudding...
