That's light.

Being in .308 it’s a real shame they didn’t go with 16” barrel and make it even lighter and a super handy hunting rifle.

20” is not needed in this caliber for a hunting rifle.
My factory ammo says 2600FPS from a 24” barrel. Shooting it out of a 16” barrel over a Garmin Chrony I averaged 2505 FPS over a 10 shot average.

Not to take away from this thread or the beauty rifle ! Someone that hunts more open areas will love it and I’ll be envious

It beats the Howa Superlite in a number of respects - 60 degree bolt instead of 90, looks cooler... But if you want light weight the 16.5" Howa Superlite with the carbon fibre stock comes in at 4.3 lbs empty. the Howa Superlite action is rough though.

Interesting. The action appears to be fluted but not the barrel.
