Do I have the lightest Grendel rifle in world?

[kiwi shooter]

I may have to concede the crown of lightest Grendel bolt action in the world lol. And happy to do so, I posted this thread to see if anything else out there close. Thanks for bringing to my attention. I won’t do plastic or shorter barrel to compete so looks like he has the win. The stock is pretty cool, had to do what you could before the stocky’s carbon, which is the easy button now, that’s a ton of work for a 1.5-2.5 oz gain. Now if our rifles could get together and have a kid then we’d get down to 2.5 kg scoped with suppressor. He just needs to slab/flute that action/bolt and he’s got the crown as no one will match his stock weight.

his is a 223 not Grendel so your safe there.

his stock is superlight but also a bit fragile if you fell over while hunting you would probably break it
no issues for him is he is able to repair or make another one.
but for commercial makers it's not viable which is why they weigh more strength=heavy it's that simple

I think its 18" ill measure it if I get a chance I have it at the moment.
however, it's the featherweight barrel yours may be standard sporter Howa do three profiles well at least we can get 3 here. in theroy a 6.5 barrel should be lighter than a 223 barrel of the same profile as there's a bigger hole and less steel in a 6.5
