Did you end up running those M10 rings or switch to the seekins?Having Ty Shaw at Flatline Precision put together an 11.3-.5lb scoped rifle build as we speak. 300 Norma Mag Improved
BAT vesper action - 26oz
26" Benchmark Med Palma - 68oz
Salmon River SS 4 port brake - 2oz
TS Customs Adjustable KS1 Stock - 42oz
Hawking M5 bottom Metal - 4oz
Hawkings Lapua Hunter Mag - 4oz
Trigger Tech Special - 2oz
ARC M10 rings - 5oz
March FX 4.5-28X52 non illuminated - 28oz
Barreled action with brake weighed in at exactly 6lbs. The rest are all really close estimates.
I switched to seekins. Now I have seekins and the Unknown Munitions Premier rings. Both are great.Did you end up running those M10 rings or switch to the seekins?
What was your experience with the M10 rings?I switched to seekins. Now I have seekins and the Unknown Munitions Premier rings. Both are great.
I have 6-7 sets of the ARC M10 rings and have always loved them. They got re-designed to the M-Brace design now and I have a set of those as well.What was your experience with the M10 rings?
Copy that, thank you! I haven’t found a ton of feedback on them but what I’ve read has all been great.I have 6-7 sets of the ARC M10 rings and have always loved them. They got re-designed to the M-Brace design now and I have a set of those as well.
I wasn’t a fan honestly. Feel much better about a simple 4 screw 20in lb torque on the scope tube instead of a single 65in lb torqued screw.What was your experience with the M10 rings?
Gotcha, thanks man!I wasn’t a fan honestly. Feel much better about a simple 4 screw 20in lb torque on the scope tube instead of a single 65in lb torqued screw.
No problem dudeGotcha, thanks man!
Makes good sense to me. Tell us about your go-to rifles, stock, scope, cartridge, barrel length/contour, etc. CheersI'll be 63 in a month.
Both my go-to rifles are a tad over 10 lbs.
Why? Because they shoot very well and I spend months on end scouting and hunting for a split second shot. It better count.
I can always lose a couple of pounds if it bothers me!
Are light guns nice to carry? Yup. But I do feel the heavier guns shoot much better and allow you to see the shot easier. I like the adjustable LOP and comb and a stock with a flat bottom.
One thing is that today's quality long range rifle scopes are pretty heavy. If you want a durable, reliable dialing scope you will be adding 26-43 oz to your rig. Then add rings, sling, bipods (if you are one to leave on hanging on your stock), scope level. It adds up.
I use a Sparten Precision bipod, so it is carried in a pouch and not on the rifle. Attaches quickly via earth magnets.
Most of my hunts are not super far... 2-7 miles round trip in a day hunt.
I love this. It makes me cringe when people say they want a sub 8lb rifle loaded. Its not even the fact that it tames the recoil. Its just straight up steadier. My 11 lb rifle is a steady as a rock when I set it on a bag and look through the scope.I'll be 63 in a month.

Agreed. A rifle with a good stock and a little heft is a thing of beauty to shoot. They require much less effort to shoot accurately.I love this.
