Thread: Tops Gun Advice

Don't obsess about weight, its just a fashion thing to sell chit. How a rifle "carries" makes more difference than weight, is the sling "just right", does it hang nicely on your back and beside your pack/daypack, does it sit comfortably in your hand at a balance point. I'm an old fart and have carried a variety of very light to very heavy rifles (14 lbs up to 1800M - no sweat, although there would have been if I had a full pack as well).

Lose the suppressor, they are surplus to requirements on a tops rifle and usually bugger up the balance. Trim the barrel so the balance point is right. If its got a protruding mag box or is too wide to grip - Go to a smaller scope in rings high enough that you can carry with your hand round the scope (if your hands are small enough like Trumps).
