Rifle started bare at 5lb12.7oz. FWIW With a 180 ELD-M, COAL at kiss was 3.005". Not bullet of choice here, just one that was handy. Max mag length I'd go is about 2.825", and looks like there's damned little room to gain without modding the receiver.

Pretty sporting of you to go scopeless and sightless if it's truly staying as pictured.

It's got to be top heavy with those fn rail sections. If it's staying that way, good luck..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Nice carving job on that stock. I wish I had the skills to trim down the plastic on my howa minis.
