Would a modern AR-10 not be close to that weight?I don't have a clear cut answer on the bolt and extension at this time, but it is more than likely that a completely redesigned bolt and extension will be developed for this cartridge. What exactly will be needed as far as strength will be determined by the pressure readings I get from the savage bolt gun.
The AR10/ LR308 platform doesn't interest me. I had one for a brief while and didn't care for the associated weight. A 7-8# AR15 in a potent round like this is much easier to handle in the field to me, and I believe most hunters that would utilize the round would agree.
