These both have a large Limbsaver grind to fit recoil pad that is screwed to a Pine plug and not glued and not ground to fit, but left large.

No pics right now, but just to satisfy my curiousity I weighed my Interarms Mark X, 9.3x62mm (JES rebore). Cerakoted graphite black, it sits in a Bansner with a 1" Decelerator, Leupy Std Bases and 30mm Rings, Swaro 2.2-9x42, and NECG Masterpiece front and rear sights. 8lbs, 5oz with the factory bottom metal. It shoots well, and balances nicely. In retrospect, I'm not sure the 4-5oz weigh savings of lighter bottom metal would be worth the cost.

I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
