Some of ya'll my new Peak 44 ultra-light stock I bought for my Altus 6.5 Creedmoor. Well, Alamo Precision called and it's all bedded and ready to pick up. I'll head over there in a few and pick it up. Then, get out and sight it in this week.
Stand by for pictures this afternoon.....

Sweet little rifle, light weight one is sweet to carry around hunting which I carry a rifle a lot more hunting than I shoot it.
My favorite walking around rifle is the Grendel that weighs 7.2lbs Scope, sling, loaded ready to hunt. Heavy enough to hold good, balance well and light enough to carry easily for us mobility challenged guys.

Ditch the Swaro’s and get a lighter more reliable uncapped turret scope like a March.

Before or after July for it to be listed in the classifieds? What is every ones guess Sorry Buzz, go for the Z5 on a light weight one. Rifle felt off on my light weight ones top heavy etc. with a Hubble on it.

His Z6 is shockingly light for a Hubble Scope. I wouldn’t go to a 1” Z5 with no erector travel. Buzz will have to dial because we all know you can’t use a reticle for holds because Swaro has garbage reticles.

Kentucky holdeover Just keep the Z6. It’s better than the Z5. You will be right at 8lbs with the Z6 and your new titanium can. It will be perfect. It will be beautiful .

Man Buzz, that looks useful and 5 3/4 pounds ain’t no target gun. I would stick with that made light to enjoy carrying theme and put a trim little scope on it with the best glass I could swing. Then get out and start piling some stuff up with it.

I'm leaning towards a Z5 3.5-18, That will be fine for hunting. As much as people equip themselves like American Sniper for hunting, most game is shot well under 300 yards. Although building an ultralight for walking to a deer stand is pretty funny too.
