Merlin Orr Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 If I cleaned the barrel and got all the crud out of the gun it might be a pound or two lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mule Mule, You are obviously unaware that you are conversing with the world renowned iron sight shooter, the one and only Kirk Miller. When it comes to 3-gun if you have any questions, just ask yourself......WWKMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Texas is where all the fun is for these long guns. So it looks like <9 lbs is figting weight. I'm about a pound off. Do I get a handicap for a redimag?

ken hebert Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Nope. Maybe a kick in the shin. We gonna see you in Corpus for the TSCC? You're welcome to try out any rifle I have with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I have an old warhorse that weighs in at 12-13lbs and to paraphrase Kellyn, it shoots like a house-a-fire. I also have a JP CTR that weighs in at about 7.5 with optics. Heavy/light, no big thing either way as long as you like it and can shoot it well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscott Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Mine is a 20" rifle, aluminum tube, and Weaver 1-3x weighs right at 8#. The Cav Arms lower knocks another 14 ounces, but I'm not sure which way I like it better. I had the barrel turned down from an Hbar to gvmt profile and like it a lot.

kurtm Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yes it is a "iron sight" rifle ( denoting 20" barrel, not a short 16 or 18", there is nothing RIFLE about the .223 caliber, but we will use that for now). The optic rifle weighs in at 7.6 lbs. The specs for both these rifles will have to come from J.P. as John is the one that put them together. Note: the J.P. optic rifle cheats just a bit by mounting the ACOG TA-11 directly to the upper with no extranius mount. The rifle I built for Mike Darby to use when he comes over weighs in at 7.7 lbs with Meopta on top. Carbon fiber fore-end, barrle turned .75 full length by My amigo Benny and a lightened bolt carrier from J.P. of course. I have been told time and again that .75 is just to thin and will string when hot, but of the 3 barrels I have had turned this way NONE of them string and ALL of them ar 3/4 M.O.A. barrles so turn away weight if you wish. BTW it ISN"T KIRK Miller....it,s "Kuert Muller" and I have always lived by WWDAD ( What would Desi Arnes do?) "Lucy you have some splainin to do."

bigbrowndog Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 20" iron gun .750 barrel, 223............7.75# 20" iron gun .750 barrel , 308..........9.0# 18" optic gun, .800 barrel, ACOG,......8.5# 16" iron gun, M4 contour,223............7.75# optics, furniture and barrel contours and length will cause differences for all of it. trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
