S-17 12''weight class

[ojinok1 0]

Anyone weigh their 12'' after installing the furniture? My s-17 will come with the Hellion and cant seem to find any published weight on that little piece of Aluminum. At 65 I need to get back into weight lifting anyway, getting way to soft. I believe shooting 3'' 00 loads gives a old coot like me the required daily exercise .

12's are rare, so I don't have one handy.

 

Generally speaking the SBS's are lighter than full-length guns, and that coupled with the shorter length produces more recoil.

Ojinok2,

 

Congrats on the Tromix purchase. Our Hellion HG for the 12" S17 is pretty light, I don't think you'll feel any significant difference in overall weight of your S17 with it on or off.

 

Also, if felt recoil is at all a concern I highly recommend you have Tony install one of his custom fit Limbsavers if you haven't done so already. I run one on my personal 8" S17 and, considering the platform, couldn't believe how comfortable it is to shoot.

 

Let me know if there's anything more I can do to assist you.

 

Thanks,
