I own one of his ulite conversation now. It was 8lb 4oz scoped with a 3x9 conquest. I just sent it back to Jeff to switch over to LRMP and add a brake.
So, will be a little heavier but at 8lbs, a stout loaf would make your teeth rattle. Reason for the brake.
after talking to Jeff, I don’t think he would do another. Think he said the only reason he did originally, was because Knight wasn’t offering a fast twist 45, at the time.
Seemed to be a lot of work but it’s a sweet lightweight rifle that I can shoot smokeless or heavy doses of BH209 out off. I believe it will be my go to rifle when complete.
Yep thats why my 50 (bk--92) with the Rem uml barrel and 140grv blackhorn ,and the275 xpb has one (brake) plus a kick eze safari magnum pad . Even then its still WOW !!!!!!!! Dont remember the weight but its not much , ( not home either) and it STILL ROCKS !!! On BOTH ends !!!! Its a sickness ya know......Chuck had this one special order. Heavier barrel and 26" of usable barrel.
It was 8lbs total with the VX-L scope. My scope only weighs 11oz
I will launch a 275gr BE 2442fps. So if you run the numbers, that is some stout recoil. I went back to shooting my little Barnes 225gr XPB instead after one season of that.
