Hi, I'm new to posting on the forum, so hopefully I'm posting in the right place. I'm currently looking for a lightweight rifle that comes with 5/8x24 muzzle threads for my suppressor. The Barrett Fieldcraft would have checked every one of my boxes, but since they aren't really available right now, I'm looking elsewhere. I currently have a CGS Hyperion on order, and it has a fixed mount with 5/8x24 threads.
- I'd like the rifle to weigh under 6lbs
- Total weight of 7.5lbs with scope and suppressor if possible
- My scope and rings are about 14o z and the suppressor is on the heavy side at 15oz
- Prefer not to deal with a thread adapter if I can
- 18" barrel
- Offered in 6.5CM or 7mm-08
- Prefer to keep the cost under $2k for the rifle
I have thought hard about waiting for a Kimber Adirondack to show up in stock, but then I'd have to use an adapter and deal with possible tolerance stacking. I have looked at the Seekins Havak Element and it looks nice but is a bit too expensive and has a longer barrel than I'm looking for.
I currently have a Tikka T3 that I could rebarrel, but it shoots great already and kind of want something new anyway.
Does anyone know of some rifles that fit what I'm looking for?
