As is 13.75 LBS

For those who do not know what that is, well lets put it this way.
It is based on the 505 Gibbs case.

300 Accubonds 3400 fps

Now that should reach out there. Very Nice

WOW, that is a nice setup, would love to get a bit of trigger time with something like that. Would be interested to hear what kind of groups you get at 1000 plus yards.
