RE: Project Uberlight
I needed a light Coyote Hunting unit. After packing around my RRA 24" heavy varmint unit with 6-24 scope on a couple coyote hunting trips I decided a diet was in order, and I'm not giving up Ice Cream.
Never checked the heavy gun but i'm sure it was close to 12 pounds with optics.
With a stock RRA A2 lower I built the following upper:
20" NOS original Colt retro pencil barrel
LBC No F/A upper
Clark Custom hand guard
Levang Comp -- Shaved Down (4oz reduced to 2.5oz)
A-Sight original Gas Block -- Cut Down (2.0oz final)
BCM Auto BCG
6.2 Pounds when done with NO: optics/mount/mag
I think i'm going to add a Leupold Ultralight 2-7 with light mounts and call it done at about 7 pounds with optics.
It shoots MOA with first attempt.
