Received two questions, which I still needed to answer:
1. What does the barreled action weigh? Answer right at 5# +/- a few ounces between the 260 (22" barrel) and 308 (24" barrel), which includes the stainless mag box, but does not include the bottom metal. The stock and bottom metal weigh right at 2# together.
2. What is the balance point? Here is the 308 (24") balancing on a single end of a cleaning cradle.
Here are some more photos, since it was disassembled to answer the first question. Everything appears to be stainless steel except the mag spring.
Sturdy bottom metal.
Stout recoil lug, integral with the receiver.
The mag box itself is very sturdy.
The 260 stock had been opened up considerably for a nice free float fit.
