Nice review and pics TB!

Looks great!!!

My question would be with regard to weight and how this relates to the competition upper that caught my eye on Rainier's website. The competition upper has a midlength gas port, 16" SS barrel and monolithic upper. It weighs in at 4 lbs 15 oz according to RA. Do you happen to have a weight of just the upper for comparison?

I'm thinking that the new 3 gun rifle will have the Adams upper on Seekins Gen 2 lower... Goodbye yearly bonus

My scale shows it at 4 lbs. 2.6 oz:

Here's what it might look like:

Thanks for the pic! That's just about what I'm looking for. I guess I hadn't realized that the dust cover door would cover that much of the ambi bolt release. I assumed that it would be accessible more towards the rear of the rifle.

ETA: Correction, the ambi bolt release appears to be back further. The picture (I believe) is a Gen 1 Seekins.

Yes...the pic is a Gen 1 receiver...I should have stated that.
