Leupold medium rings 5.0 oz
Leupold Vx3i 4.5-14x40(30mm side focus) cds scope is 15.0 oz.

Scoped rifle is 8.0 lbs on the nose. 8.2 ft/lbs recoil energy, a sweetheart to shoot.

Just picked it up after having my smith pull the carbon off my Howa and stuffing into the cz.

Draftpick Wrote:I assume you used a carbon blank had it reamed and threaded? I would like to put a proof barrel on a Cz, doing my homework so I know what I’m getting into.

Stinky Coyote Wrote:got your pm and replied there as well, that rifle I have pics on my current instagram page even though I sold it, @65grendelhunters, anyway on the proof carbon 6.5 barrel list only one has the smaller diameter shank of 1.13" (from memory but you'll see it when you're scrolling) while the rest are 1.2", it's a 1-8 twist, 24" sendero contour, I believe I have the Manson reamer and take the barrel, reamer, go/no go gauge to your smith and he should be able to do the rest

Switching back and forth between metric and standard drives the cost of the labor through the roof and makes it impractical. At least around here. He did say, he thought PAC-Nor would/could cut metric threads on the tenon before shipping. Don’t know!

Draftpick Wrote:Pac-nor does not chamber for 6.5 grendel, I sent them a email confirming since it's not on the list of what they chamber, so they are a no go at this time.

Sinclair Wrote:Don't know about "most" gunsmiths as I have always done my own work. But, unless you are using a pre-WWII made lathe, most modern lathes have a simple solution to switch between metric and "std" threads. Move a lever or at the most swop out the lead screw transfer gears and that takes seconds or at the most, 10 or 20 minutes.

I taught it to my machine shop students. If my "Juvenal Delinquents" could learn the procedure, certainly a practicing Gunsmith should be just as capable.

Maybe it’s time I find a new Gunsmith!
