The weight is unrealistic for most use I would venture to say, except for range use where no distance to carry is needed.

I'd like one in .243 - fast twist # 26" bl.
My .45 Sharps weighs 12 pounds 8oz., but then I don't hunt much with it - however it is wearing the open sights now, instead of the apertures, just in case I want to take it out.

Agree--.243 would be an awesome caliber for this...
Small enough for p-dogs --big enough for other game..antelope, deer, etc...and very efficient

My thoughts - although I prefer the 57mm case for a 6.5. For me, either the 6mm Rem or the 6.5x57IMP would be my choice. The one 6.5x57IMP I did have, produced 3,308fps with a 120gr. XLC from a 26" bl.

How does the weight of one of these compare to say a .308 AR15?

Haven't seen the video yet, only the first few seconds, my connection is crap today.

The .308 AR15 normally called the AR-10 if in the .308 caliber are typically a bit lighter..depending on the manufacturer..the ones I see are in the 8 1/2 to 9 lb range--this is showing it to be 10 1/2 lbs..

I got to look one of these over back when they were released at a local shop, it was in .243. They are interesting, I didn't care much for the stock though. There are a couple of threads over on the Hide about it, the first one:

And the new one after the one above hit its length limit:

It's in the right weight range for Precision Rifle competition. On the plus side, it's easy to change out the barrel, it's got a hybrid AR/Savage barrel nut system so you can go to a lighter and/or shorter contour.

As far as "modern" guns go - I do indeed like this one.

It will be interesting to see what the cost trades end up being for tricking one of these out versus a building off of a typical action and chassis (i.e. using it as a donor action). I do like the idea behind the magazine well design if it lives up to the promise of handling the variety listed (M14/AR10/AI).

G'Day Fella's,

As has been stated above, the Ruger is a bit heavy!

Personally, I prefer a chassis stock a young mate of mine has designed and now manufactures!
https://www.facebook.com/GC-Precision-Developments-Ltd-458875430916447/timeline/
These are an all Aussie design which is made here in Australia!
FYI, as a Mechanical Fitter-Machinist myself, I can honestly say, that these stocks are made with Stunning Precision and Best Quality Finishes, when compared to Every Other Chassis Stock, I have seen and or handled! I shit you not!!!

Regards
Homer
