Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles A Tale Of Two 308's... 84 MT vs. 70 EW

For those that were wondering...



Factory EW Handle:



McMillan Hunters/Compact Edge (with bedding):



4.8 oz difference.



Factory EW Bottom Metal:



PT&G Aluminum Bottom Metal:



1.4 oz difference.



Factory EW Follower:



USRAC Graphite Follower:



.9 oz difference.



SO, Total difference between factory and aftermarket is 7.1 oz's.

To be fair, had I bedded the factory EW stock like the McMillan it would have added at least .2 oz's making the difference between those two at least 5 oz's.
