"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
As for weight, here is my new Montana Rifle Co X3 in 26 Nosler. 26" barrel. That weight is just the bare rifle as it comes out of the factory box. No scope mounts, no ammo, no sling, etc. Haven't had a chance to mount a scope or shoot it, yet.
I have X3 in 6.5 PRC and it is a consistent sub .5 MOA performer with factory 143 ELDX. Easily the most accurate factory rifle I have ever owned and I have had a pile of them in the last 40 years.
It the American Hunter walnut blue with a medium sporter barrel and it weighs 7 lb 6 oz. Not a fly weight for sure but great balance. PM me a number and I will send some pics.
