i wish you were close id let you feel just how heavy, and top heavy, my SPS in 22-250 actually is! its so top heavy i have to sling it barrel down...and when i walk, i have to watch because its so close to the ground(im only like 5'9"-5'10" but with the scope and bipod, its just a heavy rifle...when i goto a new stock it'll likely get HEAVIER. i cant see that stock thats on it weighing much.


great rifle...but believe me, if your walking very far, very often, you'll likely curse it lol....i carried it predator hunting uphill to 1 set....i wanted to leave it at the truck all the way...snow, up hill, cold and bundled up...i was in no mood to carry that sucker plus my light, up the hill lol. but, when the yotes and foxes hang up at 200yds i know all i gotta do is send em a 55gr pill and they will take a dirt nap so i suffer and lug it to some of my open field and long range setups...it aint fun to carry though....

heres a pic of mine fully setup...



great rifle....but it aint built to carry around IMO. im used to packing and carrying gear a good distance whether its the bow and treestand and pack, or surf rod and bait and cooler, or the predator gun and light, or 22, light and dog tracking system and fur...etc etc...im used to it and still find carrying the SPS to be a bit cumbersome...

when i redo it, its going to be made into a more compact, lighter, rifle...like the others said, 300yds and less, you really dont need the weight of a 26" heavy barrel....unless you WANT it..
