KABOH1100,
that indeed appears to be a "beast". what does it weight when ready to hunt or target shoot? 12lbs? anyway, have fun with it. one of the attractions of the 6.5Gr to me was much better ballistics than the 223 and still on the light weight (or can be light weight, depending upon the build) AR-15 platform. 308 Definitely has more horsepower, but i'll guess at a heavier rifle weight as well.

At the moment... Set up is 11.5 lbs.. Good guess. Built this to go 800 yrds plus....
