Anyone have a good guestimate for how heavy a barrel can be fitted to a T3? Tried placing a straight taper barrel that's around 23mm at muzzle ... nope too heavy.
What profile can be fitted without modification, and with modification of the forend given its essentially a two piece front.
Cheers...

My little mate Franky has a factory Varmint in 300WM, its around that size, could be 21mm but bloody hell its heavy.

I would try and see what dimensions the T3 Varmint barrel is - they handle that weight well. ?

Handles the weight quite well mate, expecially when you get rid of the plastic stock.
