Lightweight Build for Stalk hunts

[BjornF16]

Bjorn, I bought the 16" midlength button-rifled tube (listed for $260 on the AA site). It has a threaded muzzle. The entire gun, with 1-3X scope an RRA one-piece aluminum float tube, weighs about 6.5 lbs. I'm completely happy with the accuracy. Here's a link to the gun and a target:

Oh, you in the Austin area, by chance? If so, I'd be happy to let you run a few rounds downrange to see how she handles.

I'm very intrigued as I was considering the "tactical" 16" barrel. Just to confirm, you have the chrome lined, pencil profile barrel listed in AA barrel/bolt combo?

I'm really looking at this gun as a sub-200 yard weapon. We'll also be carrying a 8lb Remington 700 (7mm Rem Mag) during the stalk. My Grendel Entry is a whopping 11 lb (12 lb with bipod) gun that just is not desirable for a stalk hunt.

You would be happy with your Grendel for 200 yd and closer?

Thanks,
