Stag 10 build and range review

[griffin86]

Technically it's not an ar10 no?

Technically no, you can't swap another company's upper or lower on it.

Where did you get a 18.6 PR barrel?

So the complete upper lower weighs about 6 1/2 lbs.
What would be the one thing that would give the biggest weight savings, to change out.

BCG maybe?

It’s 9 lbs with no optic.

You only save 6 ounces with a titanium BCG. Then you need an adjustable gas block. So that will cost $400+ to save 6 oz.

A minimalist stock would be the best. A PRS stock weights 27 oz. The Battlelink minimalist stock weighs 6 oz. The BMS costs $50 USD.

Biggest weight savings you’ll see will be in the barrel, handguard, BCG and stock.

My build should be in the 8lb range with a scope.

care to share your build list?
I'm looking for a "minimalist approach" and would like to land in that same range.

When I first bought the set, I checked there for CF barrels and hand guards. The website sucks so badly, I left empty handed.

Here's my next lightweight build. You could substitute the ACOG for a Vortex 2.5-10x44 or Razor HD 3-15x42 for an extra 11 ounces. Brings you under 8lbs still.

I'm sure they can order one in for you. Are you looking for a 6.5 Creedmoor or a 308?

It's been raining all weekend and I'm going stir crazy.

I’ll be shooting the 143gr ELD-X over H4350 as well.

.308, yeah. Looking at PR, CA, BSF. The ladder seems to be the lightest by 4 OZ. Not much info on the web about them though.

I have a 308 BSF coming. Also I might do a 308 barrel shootout. If you might interested in it PM me.

 

[Justins1877]

I’m not looking to make this into a precision rifle necessary, I have other rifles for that, in that caliber already. What I want is basically a Smart car with a Hayabusa engine in it. That would make me happy.
