I have a few bits and pieces on the drawing board and waiting for a few parts but plan on a barrel shave to 11in on the grendel which will make it many inches shorter than factory barrel even with suppressor fitted as in pic and SOOO light not even going to feel it on a sling.

Go for it @Preacher , you'll be the envy of all who handles it....
What is a ballpark figure for complete rifle in 300black
Can someone quote a weight?
Weight totally depends on what the rifle is chambered in, barrel length and thickness.. suppressor, grip and scope used.
The chassis sits at about 600 grams with most grips fitted.
The barreled actions fluctuate a lot between a s/s light weight and a blued heavy barrel. The best weight savings is achieved by cutting the barrel short, thinning it and fitting a carbon tension sleeve.
Very easy to achieve a sub 2kg rifle fully set up.
My personal rifle in 6.5 grendel is 1.6kg.

With the chassis,grip (heavy rubberized one at that) and neopod bipod fitted I am at around 700 grams ..... The original stock alone was nigh on a kilo.....
When I first picked up the chassis I honestly thought someone was taking the piss and it was just a toy , not a rifle part.
@Wingman any vids of these up being used yet?
I'm just waiting on my rings to turn up, then I'll get it on the scale as a 12.5" Grendel with a VX5. Might even do a video with it if I get time.
@Wingman when you say "the best weight savings is achieved by cutting the barrel short, thinning it and fitting a carbon tension sleeve". What sort of cost to do that?
Wow that's really reasonable I reckon. Had a much higher figure in my mind.
Video as promised
