I've held them, and they are extremely lightweight. My only beef with them is the op-rod driven system, but that's another issue. I hope they would build you a DI if you asked. Should be $300-$600 cheaper, since a lot of that cost is in unnecessary op-rod parts that an $11 gas tube can easily replace.

yea $3K for the rifle, thats alot of money considering I could build two rifles with cut rifled barrels for that price....but definitely cool, couldn't find the twist rate on their site?

A friend of mine had a Christensenarms Arms 30-06 barrel that he could never get to shoot MOA. He hand loaded different loads and never did get it to shoot well. He sold it and never looked back.
This is my experience with a sample of exactly one (1) CA barrel
YMMV
