Yes, yes it is.

Looks good.

Pretty cool

What does the scope weigh?

Is the barrel 26"?

 

[DMS1]

Barrel is 22 7/16 I think (factory length). The scope is 19oz, I could easily save another 1/2lb there. Even the vx-r 4-12x40 is under 15oz and still keeps the firedot

 

[yodave]

so all in all how much weight did fluted the barrel shave off??

looks awesome though

 

[retoxtony]

So how much weight did the new stock and bolt shave off? This is the model with the fluted barrel already, right?

Edit: sorry, I missed it in the first post. 5oz less for the stock. Not bad and looks better too.

I made my own superlite. They don't make a 270 wsm so I got a hunter stainless fluted and put a McMillan edge on it and it weighs 7.0 lbs with a zeiss 4.5-14x44. Shoots 129 lrx really nice. Took it out today and it shot a 1" group at 200m at 3415fps.

I had no idea the superlite was a out of the box option.......damn you google

I tend not to look at things I really don't need..........and now I want........

Good job D. Too bad those low B.C. bullets you've taken to using will just bounce off.... lol.

Thanks, if it didn't cost more than a custom, I'd like to find and part out a fast twist 223, rechamber to 22-250 and shoot heavier bullets, starting with the 52gr vmax

The superlites in a larger bore are 5.9lbs stock. 6.25 in the smaller calibers I think. Bolt fluting might save 1-2ozs, but I have a stainless bolt shroud to add that weighs 1.5 oz

 

[DMS1]

Also the yodave spring mod for $10 is as nice as all the jewels and timneys I have tried.

Me likes

I don't find the factory trigger as is, all that terrible but for $10, I'd consider trying this yodave spring you speak of.



EDIT: Ooohh, google tells me it brings it down to 12oz range, yikes ... little light for me but to each there own.

 

[DMS1]

You don't have to go that low with it, you still have the full range of the adjustment screw

A 14 twist 22-250 will shoot 52 gr-ers FINE - you only need a faster twist for those 60-80 gr bullets - Also Remember you will need a NEW BOLT too because of the head diameter ! RJ

Sorry. I fat fingered the 52, I meant 53gr vmax, with the better ballistic coefficient, they don't stabile very well in these guns.
