That barrel you have has to be the Hybrid barrel from Criterion. If you built with standard parts, you'll still come in somewhere from 12~14 pounds, loaded and with glass. Using lighter parts, you might get it down to 10~11 pounds (loaded, glass). Decision time, and judgment call on your part. Either way, we'll be here for you.

We don't have those here...

Depends on what you intend for the rifle, really. If it's on a bench it's whole life, punching paper and steel at long ranges, that's one thing. If it's your hunting rifle, and you have to lug it around the mountains, that's another ballgame. Weight tames recoil. Well. And it's simple to set up,with common components. Lightweight schit has it's own issues, and it's mostly tuning. You have to tune all that stuff to the load you're shooting, and alot of times, it won't work with other loads, as effectively. Your call, honestly, based on intent for the rifle.

You be shocked, man - I'm starting with this, until I can outshoot it and need more... http://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-4-14x44mm-riflescope-acss-r-grid-reticle-pa4-14xffp-r-grid

Yes, and yes. Gotta wait a little bit, with Xmas coming and a week-long dune trip right around the corner. It'll be the 26" Remington Long Range, model # 84164.

You kill me, brother... Love ya, man!...

That's hilarious! Pissed off at a tool, so get even with it - I love it. Drew got pissed off at a Samsung Galaxy phone once,and sent it to me to blow up. I set it on a charge of tannerite and launched it to the moon...

Schit yeah! 405 grains of pure fury, silver-cast lead composite, for the 45-70, with many gas checks! I LIKE it!!!

^^^ That's WHITE!!! As WHITE at this!!!

^^^ I like this guy - he fits in with this crowd...

In the old days, based on suggestion, I created the section of ".30 Caliber from the AR-15 Platform" - shouldn't be hard to start another section, men. .30 Caliber from the AR-15 Platform

HAHA! HELL YES, MAN!!!

OP, here's some back-story on the ammo they're talking about: Navy Small Arms Ammunition Advancements.pdf Common range ammo, and an all-around ammo, for me is whatever 308 brass I have, CCI 200 primers, Hornady 150gr FMJBT projectiles, and 44.0gr of Reloder 15. It's a nasty little combination.

Mike Pannone shoots right handed, and uses his left eye now. Never used to. Had to learn to do it. According to him, his right eye was "explosively removed." The guy was one of my Pre-Scuba Instructors in 1995. He is one bad mother... If you pay attention, you can see the extra scope riser in this pic, and see the head angle:

Schit, even a blind monkey finds a banana once in awhile...

They also need to go back, now, and find all those Soldiers that just said "Fuk it, I'll pay it and be done!" They need to give that money back, AGAIN, to those guys that just poop out the money because they'd had enough...

They fixed this goatfuck: Carter suspends Pentagon’s demand of the return of cash bonuses to California soldiers http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/10/26/carter-suspends-pentagon-s-demand-return-cash-bonuses-to-california-soldiers.html

Hanging in there, Mike - good to see you around here again. I was worried that one of those monster salmon GOT ya! We're still finalizing the dates - might end up multi-day out in the desert. Matt Cross will be the determining factor, on overall dates.

I. AM. IN!!!!! Hell yeah, brother!!!

The scope mount is backwards, taking the Gs of recoil from the opposite direction that it was designed for. I wouldn't count that out of the equation, along with previous comments about that particular mount. Turn the mount around and try it.

^^^ Good answer.... Impressive!

That's a prime example of "Lesson 65b - You snooze, you lose."

Looks like in the article, he was trying to get the reader to break them all down as parts - THAT would be smart!

Yes it is!...
