Agreed. Good looking rifle. Chamberings seem okay for 5lb.+ lightweight offerings... the 6.5 barrel length could be 22" rather than 24"..so could the other SAs....


Yessir. That was the biggest negative I noticed. 22" would've been better. It looks like the flutes run too far for a guy to cut and crown.


Yep... was thinking the same thing about the fluting. A guy might be able to cut one inch off and recrown, but probably not enough to make much of a weight difference anyway.

The Kimber Adirondacks are getting away with 18" barrels, compare that to a 24" tube, probably knocking off 3-4 oz of steel weight.

A sorted 'superlight' needs those tweeks.
