Thread: Where to trim weight (rifle)

A comment from Greg from terminator products has had me thinking.. it went something like no matter how accurate a rifle is, if it’s not lightweight, it will live in the safe. Bloody true!

In the quest to get animals out to 800yds I’ve put some time into this Hardys custom 6.5x284 but at 4.7kg it’s a heavy beast.. where can I trim weight? I’m a bit stuck for ideals

My thought is the stock which I absolutely love, I don’t really want to take it apart to see where the weight is.. is it the barrell or the stock?

I’m not willing to sacrifice optics I know I’ve got 1kg on top

It has a Rem 700 action, 26in barrell and brake.
