Rifle weight

[Spaniky73]

I am a big guy 6'3" 270. I have never had a problem hefting around my rifle. My wife on the other hand my wife is 5'3". She says "it too heavy". So I broke down and weighed it. 19.5lbs with a full poly mag. What kind of weights are you running?

Totally awesome gun ! That is a 1/2 pound heavier than my 24" bull barrel DPMS beast. Your better half is right ! Its is TOO heavy ! Love the brake on it ,saw those for $86, want one for my 300 Blackout build.  <thumbsup> :sniper:

Mine is probably about where Mike's is but I don't have an accurate scale.

I think the last time I weighed my Standard Operator with full steel mag no bipod was 13.5 or 14.5 lbs.

Too heavy for some but my buddies and I setup a PWC ranging from 20-200 yards that was 0.5 miles long. I didn't really have a hard time. I was huffing and puffing at the end but no worse that the guys running 5.56s.

Also the brake was only $35 on Amazon. "Shark style muzzle brake". Works great.

damn thats a heavy pig, my dmps is only 16.6 with mag and ammo.

That was everything in the photo with a full mag.

12.75 lbs empty.  Add exactly one more pound for a Pmag loaded with 20 168gr bullets.

What kills me on the weight is the half quad at almost 3lbs and the bipod at 1.5lbs. But all that weight up front allows for some very quick fallow up shots.
