I use the term light weight liberally in this case.
But if I wanted to build out the lightest .308 what should I look at? Further stated...I want a hunting rig. I like the groupings that my remington r-25 shoots. I just dislike the weight. From either building one...or making changes to my current stock r-25 where could i find weight savings? |

Quoted:
Armalite. 16" lightweight barrel, A2 carry handle upper MOEstock... 8 pounds zero ounces. That upper may have the straight cut at the rear of the upper receiver. The Remington is a round corner cut like an AR15. OP What length barrel and profile do you have now? |
| My AP4 is 7.5 - 7.75lbs without optics. I had the barrel turned down by ADCO, I replaced the handguard with DPMS' carbon fiber, and replaced the stock with a Magpul CTR. It still shoots great and is easy to carry. Of course, slapping on optics and a magazine pushes it over 10lbs, but at least its lighter than stock. |
