I think this build will be possible to keep the gun right around the 7 pound Mark 9 pounds with scope and 10 round clip with five rounds in it is doable as long as I keep the upper and lower receiver light which the 2A is a relatively like Barrel light handguard and stock the little bit of math I've done I come in right around 7 lb. Nice set up magwa and a really nice elk to boot all your guns proof that a gun setup for hunting can weigh under 9 pounds

Now you're talking I plan on ordering the 2A xanthos and other assorted Parts I won't have it together in 30 days more like 3 to 4 months can't let the wife see the bank account take a hit like that LOL

That is one sweet looking rifle but I really have my heart set on a 308 that's my primary deer hunting rifle is a Remington 700 PSS bolt action 308

One more thing also I just want to make sure that this gun functions flawlessly last thing I want is a $2,000 paperweight but then again like the mechanic at work said you can make anything work if you stick enough time and money into it I have the time and a little bit of money I just don't want my build costing four Grand but I think it would be really awesome to custom build a gun deck it out just like I want rather than buy one

Shots on my hunting land will be 125 yards or less but I intend on using this gun for hog hunting one day hopefully so there is a possibility of taking longer shots in 200 yards but then again when that time does come I could switch out to a scope with magnification thanks for the Midwest Industries tip always good to keep money local also I was looking at that 2A xanthos instead of the mega upper and lower to save weight like Shepp said ounces add up I just don't want to compromise reliability and durability for weight savings if the gun ends up weighing a pound more and is way more reliable a way more durable to me it's worth it. Thanks for all the help guys keep chiming in with your suggestions also what is the best way to reduce recoil on a gun I know a heavier gun gives you less felt recoil but is it possible to get what I want a complete gun under 9 lb and have it recoil slightly harder than a 556 I know muzzle brakes make a big difference adjustable gas blocks make a difference what do you guys think

Hi guys new 308ar.com. I'm a heavy equipment operator from Wisconsin 47 years old married. love deer hunting own my own land and hunt on it longest shot I can take his 125 yards but planning on doing hog hunting in the future down south somewhere. I am looking at building a 308 AR for deer hunting and hog hunting the gun is going to be primarily used by the wife for deer hunting I just want to know is it possible to make a reliable accurate 308 with scope and 5 rounds in a MAG under 9 pounds if so does anybody have a list of parts or am I just better off spending a lot of money and get a gun already built from one of the higher end manufacturer. I customize my Remington 870 for turkey hunting and had an absolute blast doing it spent too much money but I'll have it forever so why not. my budget for this build would be right around 2 Grand without Optics.

Hey guys new to The Forum. This questions probably been asked a thousand times so bear with me. I am looking at getting an ar308 for the wife for deer hunting would like to keep it around the nine pound mark complete including Optics and 5 rounds with the magazine. Is it possible to build this gun for under 2 Grand or am I just better off buying a higher-end manufacturer complete gun? If it is possible do you guys have a build list of parts to use any suggestions would be helpful
