Is the weight worth it

[themonk]

Was the 4 oz the straw that broke the camel's back? What is the weight of the whole rife? Improved accuracy at the expense of 4 oz sounds pretty good to me.

7lb 2oz with rds, aimpoint magnifier twist mount, bcm vert grip, scout & pressure pad, BUS, 2 sling mounts.

The accuracy is absolutely worth the accuracy IMO. 100%

I wouldn't bother swapping barrels. If your BCM already has 10k through it, I would keep on until it won't maintain 3 moa anymore. If it was your 18" comp gun, my answer would be different; but for shorties I don't fret group sizes. My 10.5 can hit 12" plates at 300m that's all I need to know.

Yup.

IMO, the current barrel has acceptable accuracy for what I use an 11.5 for.

Eta: I hate gov profile, and avoid it, if a more modern profile fits my use with acceptable precision. If I want more weight up front, I’ll use a suppressor.

Just to be clear the barrel has already been swapped over to the DD.

I think people shoot too much off the bench...

In that case, my laziness would win out.

I agree. Nothing wrong with working on precision, but when using an 11.5” for its intended purpose, I’m not seeing the difference between 2 and 3 minutes.

All Im saying is 2 vs 3 MOA out of an SBR is academic esp with a red dot. Im not saying its impossible to shoot tiny groups with that set up cause its certainly possible, Ive done it with hell of a lot of concentration and eye strain but how relevant is that for its intended purpose?

[themonk]

It's by no means a bench gun but you need to know what you're working with. When shooting off hand that moa number grows exponentially. The more accurate it is, the smaller that circle is. If you need to make a shot and you know the gun is accurate it gives you faith in your equipment. JMHO.

Since you already swapped out the barrel, and you're happy with it's accuracy, just use 20 round magazines. Less ten rounds equals 4 ounces. Simple solution.

LoL. That's never going to happen.
