Light weight general purpose rig
I decided I wanted a very lightweight general purpose hunting rifle that has more grunt than my 6.5wsm, for everything from bush to 6-700 yards.
I have successfully shot the 120 GMXs out past 1000 yards with the wsm & VX3 CDS so that got the thought process well underway :)

It currently weighs 2.880 kgs, 6.35lbs all up as shown in the pics.
I'm waiting for an even lighter stock with a better recoil pad :ORLY:
It is a Titanium action with 24" Lilja fluted barrel in 7-375 Ruger, Talley rings & VX3 4.5-14x40 CDS scope.

It happily pushes the 162 Amaxs at 3150 fps, it will go harder but I want to take it easy on the brass & action, Titanium is softer than SS & won't last forever.....
Recoil is quite brisk....:ORLY:

I'm looking forward to getting the replacement stock, bedding it & assulting some rocks etc getting to know how it works.
I don't think my shoulder is though :oh noes: :P:D
