Post your rifle setup including weight

[Austin]

I guess the main point would be if it feels light enough to you to carry, the weight is just a number. Everones has a very different strenght and fitness levels.

I have to say it might work and was cheap to make. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder at the end of the day. However I can thoroughly recommend the Hunters cheek pad. I feel I may suit the look of the rifle just that bit better and with what you have already spent £35 isn’t that much. The foam is ergonomic to the cheek bone. I ran one on my Blaser R93 with NV.

Pardon our interruption...

Beauty wasn’t in the design brief. I’ll probably end up fitting a Kalix Teknik in the long run, but for now this works perfectly. Thanks for the heads up though.

@takbok do I remember that you home-made your cf stock? I really like the simple utilitarian look. I have to ask though - given the mod, why did you keep the rear iron sight?

Thanks, it is my homemade stock. I have a front sight too that works with another muzzle forward mod.
