I see your scales, but to others following your lead, whose rifle is not sitting on a scale in a pic, add the weight, which I feel is one of the most important of specs.

BTW, great idea!!! I'll see what I can round up.

I get lots of questions about the Bumblebee

Rick,
When you say 1" shank, is that measured from the face of the action to the start of the barrel radius, face of the recoil lug to start of the barrel radius, or does it include the threads to the start of the barrel radius?

This picture is for all those that have inquired about Howa actions. The stainless steel is a standard Howa 1500, the blued is the Lightweight 1500.

The lightweight has the metal removed from both sides of the receiver from the azz end to the beginning of the front ring. You can see how the receiver has an angled look (I hate to say it, but ala A-bolt).



The other difference is the hollowed out bolt knob


Can't tell you how much weight this saves, can't imagine much more than a few ounces, but there it is for future reference.

The S/S will be another 223AI, the blued I have no idea yet.

Highly successful 1000 Yd BR "Light Class" Rig:

- 300 WSM, 220 grain Sierra Matchkings
- Stiller Python Action
- Benchmark barrel, 1.35" diax 3" shank with a straight taper to .890" at 30.5", 3-groove, 1x11 twist
- Vais brake
- 2 Oz Jewell BR trigger
- Shehane "Tracker" stock in the African Obeche Wood laminate
- Stiller rings with 20 MOA taper
- Nightforce 8-32x56 DD BR scope
- Weight: 15 lbs 2 Oz

Praire dog shooter, go back and add the weight if you got it.

All,
Feel free to add what you like about your rifle and what you would change if any. Maybe what role you see the rifle filling ie. mountain rifle, all arounder, standard dogzapper walking varmiter format, etc

Great idea
