Using a 4+ kg barrel doesn't leave much for the rest of the rifle/scope and bipod.
Have you done the numbers.
I always associated Volvo truck axle barrels with the F-Open guys that unload their gear with forklifts.
Can't recall seeing one on a F/TR gun, but I haven't been around long.

Depends what you have seen in your short time , I had a Panda Fclass in a Kelbly M1 stock with NF comp x55 scope and I ran 31” parallels , Seb joypod no problem in weight had room to spare

Agreed Cheech. I didn't say it wasn't possible. And said I hadn't seen one as yet. Thats why I also wrote that I haven't been around long. And far from any sort of expert.

Tim has shown a great example. One of the things I find enjoyable n this sport is the variety of rifles and setups to check out at a Queen's or OPM.

I simply asked had Jimmy done the numbers. I would be the first person offering help to him. And also be the last person to say it can't be done. Usually I would ask why not.

That's probably why I made my own chassis and bipod.
