New FTR Build

Sorry I did not weigh the stock seperatly but it is fairly light. The whole unit with the bipod attached is 7.41kg and that is with the krieger 32 inch heavy Palma barrel
 
Charles, gotta say thanks for the pics and congrats on such a nice rig! I hope it shoots for you... And I'm pretty happy with your "cast-off". If you want to upgrade again I may have a harder time convincing the wife for that beasty... But I'd give it a go!
 
Well so far I have just been working with full length resized brass and working on a powder load and I already have it down to .63MOA, with an SD 0f 9.3

Once spring comes I am sure I can get it down some more when I start working on seating depth and neck tension.. I am pretty picky about my components though, I trim all brass to same length, anneal every 2nd reload, turned the necks for consistent size, I sort all the brass within groups of 200th of a grain, I also use a widen pointing die on all bullets and sort them using a Sinclair bullet sorting stand to groups of 2000th of an inch groups, I also use a gempro scale and weigh my powder charge to 200th of a grain. My goal is to get my ES to around 10 and would like to get ES to below 8

So far I like it, it tracks very well, is a little awkward getting used to moving the joystick and not squeezing the rear bag. But by the end of the day I was getting used to it. I actually bought it on the EE here. I have been on the waiting list for a year now for a new one from seb and they should be ready hopefully in April for shipping but did not want to chance it that I would be without for another year of competitions. It is unbelievably light too.
