A very light rifle you have here with 26" barrels. Thank you for posting it's story.

Are you able to post up the barrel dimensions so as to give us some clues as to the profile they used to make it so light.

Hello Rhodes,

Thanks for the reply.

I've shown a couple pictures of the measurements for you. Yes indeed, its light. I think the light weight comes mostly from the very thin muzzle walls. But even though its under 8 pounds, recoil is very manageable and its pleasant to shoot.

Yes those barrels are very thin at the muzzle.

I have a friend with a modern day Merkel double in 9.3x74R. it has the thinnest muzzle wall thickness I have ever seen. Makes for a nice light gun though.
