    Some of these weights aren't to far off an actual tent (inner + outer) I get that dropping weight is the goal, but to me a 2 or 3 hundred gram weight reduction isn't worth potentially getting wet...

    Yes. There is some useful information in this thread and some practical ideas and sensible comments. But sadly diluted by 79 pages of whining.

    What a curious thing to say. Because it's the law. Just because the police dont know you are breaking the law doesn't make it legal. They will know if someone tell them, just like if someone...

    It's all been fun and very interesting but it confirms for me that if a rifle wont shoot it can cost a fortune in time and money to get it to behave. My approach now would be to drop a rifle like...

    Lock time doesn't improve accuracy, it's an aid to shooting the rifle with more precision . . . Or if you prefer, it rewards poor shooter consistency.

    There's a clear mechanical problem with the rifle system. The data is invalid. Discard and re-do to collect a valid measurement.
