Almost 7 lbs 3 ozs with a Leupold VXIII Tactical 3.5-10x40 AND a YHM Titanium suppressor?? That is ridiculous! ![[Linked Image]](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4916/45486914594_aedba619ca_z.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4827/46210872571_652f9eaaba_z.jpg)

This one is my son's 6mm CM. I bought it to replace his 6mm-250 that I'm trying to sell. I am very impressed with the quality. I've had several each of ULA's and NULA's and Forbes, and the Barrett rivals or beats them all. Here is the weight without the suppressor. ![[Linked Image]](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4852/45298625205_80f29728ec_z.jpg)

The only thing that bugs me a little at first observation is the use of some chrome moly parts (action screws, bolt shroud, sling studs, and thread protector), but it's definitely not a deal breaker.

Front heavy with the suppressor, but in a good way.

I'm really glad people are starting "get" these shorter threaded barrels. Once you start hunting with a suppressor its impossible to go back.

I sure like mine, but it's getting a smaller scope; not a lot smaller, but much lower turrets than the Tract on it now and a few ounces lighter.
What fresh Hell is this?

Hang a big scope and a big suppressor on any of your other light rifles and they will not be so light either. The naked weight would be around five pounds is my guess. Only things you could do are shorter barrel and lighter scope, not enough barrel to be worth fluting. But the barrel is already as short as I would go.
Nice rifle I would be happy with it if a Lefty.

Yeah, mine is really heavy too. With a 20 ounce 2.5-10x42 NXS....it still weighs under seven pounds.

Why is that? I can honestly say that I have never heard a shot, other than being barely aware of it, when shooting at a deer. It just doesn’t register.
