Need to get a base, ring and scope for it. Think I’m going to ditch the factory stock for one of stocky stocks carbon fibers for it. Stock only weighs 20 onces. Hoping to get the rifle at 7.5 pounds with scope.
Once I get my 6.8 ar sold I think I am going to put together a 35 whelen. I have always wanted one. Going with a Remington action, Shilens barrel I think, grayboe outlander stock, timney trigger. Should be a fun gun once it’s done.

7.5 lbs sounds good... :tup:
I'm afraid to weigh my Remington LR :chuckle:

mines 16lbs with out mag or ammo.

Yeah my 300 win mag with optics is right around 11-12 pounds.

Yeah, and I'm about to upgrade to a heavier scope too. Maybe I should put some lead weights in the stock too... :bash: :bash:

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great chambering! Great Aero set. I shot the 22x6.8 several years back with a BlackHole weaponry barrel. Wicked chambering. Accurate and easy to load for. It's great to see it's now SAAMI spec'd.
Some great powders to use are. H4895, RL-15 and for some real speed CFE223.
CFE223 is money in the Grendel/6.8 SPC case. You can argue temp sensative. But I load for the environment and the hunt.

Great info thanks. Your 375 raptor build inspired me lol. I stole a couple of your ideas on components. Mostly because they are products I haven't used before.

Aero Precision is making some super clean, quality stuff. They have their machining dialed in.
