Pendleton Stock Field Test

[Stinky Coyote]

My barrel is 22". Wayne York specializes in lightweight rifles and will know the weight of his bottom metal. Good luck with your build. Mine is quickly becoming a favorite.

Thanks, Dinny

He did indeed, 3.5 oz was his response.

Knowing this my bare rifle would be 4.34 lbs before rings/scope. I'll be doing leupold fxII 4x33 with alumina flip cap on objective end only and having leupold shop put the new cds-zl elevation turret on it so i can dial up, this will bring the bare rifle weight to 5.09 lbs and adding the 9 round shell holder with 9 rounds in it will be 6 oz. Maybe one of my 2.5 oz slings to round it out if not in the kifaru gun bearer on my pack and full hunting with ammo/sling at 5.62 lbs and about 35.5" overall length.

what's the recoil pad look like and what is it made of?

edit, i'll be picking up the barreled action soon from having the 22" knocked back to 18.5":

assumed from previous weights between 22" & 20" lightweight (4 oz difference between barreled actions) and i've had action slabbed (-1.5 oz and bolt fluted and bolt handle knob hollowed -1.5 oz)

53 oz barreled action 18.5" barrel - slabbed/fluted action/bolt (3 lb 5 oz) confirmed 3 lb 4.5 oz without action screws (jan 6)
18 oz pendelton stock (ordering today)
3.5 oz oregun hinged floor bottom metal kit (ordering today with stock)
= 74.5 oz or 4.65 lbs bare rifle

2.0 oz talley 1" low rings
9.75 oz leupold fxII 4x33 with 33mm alumina flip cap on objective

= grand total scoped rifle at 86.25 oz or 5.4 lbs

i know 5 rounds ammo is 3 oz, so a 9 round shell holder with 9 rounds should be about 6 oz, and my 1" slings are 2.5 oz, that would put it going down the trail with 9 rounds and sling at 94.75 oz or 5.92 lbs...not bad
