Didn't know the rail was removable. thanks.
My T3 with a 20moa rail, B&C stock, and Nightforce is only 8lbs 12oz. That different barrel must be pretty hefty...
Rail came right off with a little tap.... pins stayed in the receiver (pulled them easily with a set of pliers). Barrel is quite a but stouter than a T3 lite pipe.... it's about like a light Palma contour.
A 8.5-9lb super-accurate 6.5mm rifle is never a bad thing....
