This is the actual scoped rifle on scale, albeit still in pieces, the scope had just shown up, the ring bases were already loctited on the action and lapped, the ring caps and screws are in there and the scope. That's the factory bottom end, which is the same weight as the hinged bottom end. Just so there's some image confirmation.
And here it is with hinged bottom, assembled, plus 1.5 ounce in butt stock shell holder(1 oz) and objective flip cap(0.5 oz) on scope.

Nice. Looking good! I predict its going to be hard to beat!
Just curious, why not cut the barrel down to 16.25? Or is 18.5 (or there abouts) the practical minimum for Canada?
