Nothing weighs as much as that big fat barrel, Chief! It is not a gun I would want to lug around for an extended period of time, that's for sure!

I don't think I'd want to lug it from the truck to the bench.

While having the barrel threaded, you can probably have the barrel turned down some for approx $50. I had Adco reprofile my LR-308C's heavy barrel to .725" and it's now well balanced.

I had a .260 Rem upper for it for a few months with a 24" bull barrel (just like yours). It only shot marginally better than my 308 upper, so I sold it.

308 ARs are definitely fun when used in the long range precision role.

Wow. That puts my Ar10 carbine to shame.
