2A ti gas block
V7 ti sling mount and end plate
V7 thread protector
LaRue trigger

Optic is a vortex 4-16 hst in a LaRue mount for now, planning on going to a 2.5-10 pst in a nightforce mount though. Should shave some weight off. The rifle before optics weighs exactly 6lbs.

I need to get something for my son that will work for hunting and long range precision rifle classes, as well as pig hunting at niight with lights. I definitely want a zero stop, how does your 4-16 hold up in low light and at very long range (daytime)?
And what does your rifle weigh in it's current configuration?
Thanks!

The rifle weighs 7lbs 14oz, and I added a magpul sling mount on the rail and a magpul mlok bipod mount, so those add a couple ounces.Last edited by BoxofRox; 05-15-2016, 02:43 PM.

That's great information, thanks!
My son's rifle will wear the same barrel as yours, but unfortunately, I could not afford the fluting, it just passed the limit for me to pull off. His handguards are 17" UTG pro's. So his is going to be a little heavier than yours, due to the lack of fluting. The long hguards were only something like an ounce or two over the 15's, so not too worried about that.
Have you already hunted with the 2.5-10 pst? I am thinking about that one, but am concerned the smaller objective would not be so good for night hunting.
Thanks!

I couldn't afford the fluting either, but somehow I ended up with it.
I am going with the 2.5-10x44, so it will have the same objective as the 4-16. I like the ffp of the x32 but I want to have the bigger lens for hunting, because that will be the main purpose of this rifle. I don't plan on taking it past 500yds, target shooting or hunting, so I think the 10x is a good balance of size and usability.
