Well then, let's go on a diet and start with the choice of optics. Ditch the 3-20X56 scope / T1 package and go with a Leupold MK8 or better yet S&B1-8X when it come out. There is no need for that magnification range for a weapon designed to engage targets out to 600m. Then, ditch the FMNVS which is not needed for a SDM weapon. There - that a good start.
Just looking at the handguard, rails are missing from the front end on the sides, where it would be better to place a laser indicator/lluminator and also stopping short on the bottom, I would place the bipod more far out. Can not see any holes either for add on rails?
Looks good, basically...
The new S&B 3-20 has a 50 mm objective, not 56 mm. It is too large and heavy for this rifle, but probably the accuracy is more than enough for 800 m shots, and any good zoom optic with more than 10X is not going to be too light.
The T1 is mounted too high and has a funky mount and rings, I wonder if a 45º mount would be better.
The handguard looks innecesarily heavy and long.
I guess it will evolve into something lighter.
Yeah that rail looks pretty silly in size and form.
I thought this was the day and age of lighter strong rails instead of solid blocks of metal lol

I would have probably gone with either of these;
Yes, the red dot is on the top, but I can not put it on the low left side = the large illumination turret on the Short Dot will block it.
And besides with a 1-4x or 1-8x you dont really even need it.
Its just there for competition stages where you might have close in targets followed right away by targets at 150-300 meters, dont have to waste time to adjust the magnification
