There was one in Sparks NV at Scheels yesterday at the same price, $549. If not for recently buying at Howa Mini, when I went to look at the Ruger but it had sold, I would of bought the one at Scheels.

Does anyone know how much the barreled action weighs on these?

Thank you.

I'll assume 4.5 lbs for the barreled action then.

Does anyone know how much the barreled action weighs on these?

70.5 oz including the action screws (4.40 lbs)

[Stinky Coyote]

10 round mag is 3 oz
MDT LSS-XL Gen2 chassis is 30.5 oz
Strike industries buffer tube 3.8 oz (awesome buffer tube! my scale rounds to nearest 1/2 so with castle nut says 4.0 oz)
Magpul CTR butt stock 9 oz (mft battlelink minimalist is 6.5 oz but prefer CTR for several reasons)
Magpul moe-k grip 1.8 oz (my scale rounds to nearest half so it says 2.0 oz)
Talley low 1" rings 2.0 oz, Trijicon 3-9x40 Accupoint scope is 13.4 (my scale says the combo is 15.5 oz)

Factory stock is 25 oz, to go chassis you can safely add 1 lb over factory weight, however you then get adjustability to fit anyone, you can make it a take down by loctite the castle nut and you can spin the butt stock off and on to repeatable same spot every time and take down length is then 26 1/4" long. I like the extra weight for shootability and recoil reduction, I shoot mine out to 500 yards maintaining approx. 3/4 moa for 3 shot groups with hornady black. You save a couple ounces by ditching factory rail and using talley rings instead and if you watch your scope weight you'll build these scoped RAR's in chassis for right around 8 1/4 lbs with a 13.5 oz scope in those talley rings (no ammo, no sling). I'm very happy with all these specs such that I built 3 of these, one for me and one each for my two boys. They will never need anything else for all the coyote/big game work we do. You can add light/laser and two point slings easily for defence set up as well, recommend O-light baldr mini or Streamlight TLR-8 on magpul 3 slot m-lok rail (adds 3.0 oz total including rail). As for slings I like the blue force vickers two point, get the quick detach on the rear for spinning off the butt stock, it just button pops into the CTR butt stock, I just thread the front to the chassis and save some weight and rattle of putting another quick detach m-lok up at the front.
