Thread: Rifle weightloss : best bang for your buck ?

I dropped about 400gms going from plastic stock to carbon fibre, but then added weight in the butt to get the balance right.
There are some heavy scopes around so that would be the next best thing to look at.
Having tried the lighter is better, I've come to the conclusion that balance is best

if the likes of a standard tikka t3 lite has you worried about weight. how will you ever carry out your kill.

Eggsactly:thumbup:

I use a Sako with a lupy on it.
Its bloody heavy by modern custom standards.

I can't think of a time i wished my rifle was lighter but many many times I wished my pack was lighter.

I (and probably most people) shoot better with a rifle with a bit of weight to it and well balanced, especially off hand or sitting or off a pack (you gotta carry it ill assume your hunting)

Take some shit you don't need out of your pack.(i need to do this too lol)
