I've drooled over these since one came through the shop. Birthday is coming up in a few months so you guys have time to pass the hat and have it engraved with my screen name...
 "The MK22 is a modular system that will be fielded with three separate calibers, the .338 Norma Magnum, .300 Norma Magnum and 7.62×51 NATO. Army snipers will be able to conduct a barrel change and select calibers based on their mission operating environment." https://soldiersystems.net/2021/03/30/a ... -firearms/ The whole kit is mercilessly heavy. I better hit the weights. _________________ “Finding ‘common ground’ with the thinking of evil men is a fool’s errand” ~ Herschel Smith "The “A return to First Principles in a Republic is sometimes caused by simple virtues of a single man.

Every ounce makes some e-3 somewhere piss and moan a little bit more.

It was the weight of the whole multi-barrel kit and pelican case about which I was commenting. Had to stumble around and repeatedly move the thing around in office storage for a couple of weeks while it was in 1639 limbo.
