Pat,
The reason for the lightweight build is that I have a very small son with spaghetti arms and he just can't hold my rifle up by himself for any length of time and stay very steady. Most of local matches are just bay stages with a very occasional 200 yds target. So I am going shorter on the barrel, 14.5 + comp to 16", going with a dot type sight like a Sparc or something like that. Was thinking the lighter upper/ lower would help but if I am reading between the lines the quality or reliability may not be there with ones I have considered as the application is 3 gun where we are dumping guns in a barrel and I need things breaking on me. Was thinking about the KMR 13" handguard and an ACE ultra light stock also.
Suggestions or advice for what I am trying to achieve here?
Telling my son to lift weights or he will grow up is not the answer as he is just very small at 15 (size of most 12 year olds). Probably won't get much bigger and I don't want to lose his interest now.
I have enjoyed all the post and appreciate everyone's advice.
Thanks,
Mike
