I wanted to ask how was the balance point with the TCS Max Arca rail and the extra weight that it orginally comes with? I have the exact same barrel specs and I just ordered my TCS Max from Todd yesterday.
Im just curoius now with you going to the brass arca rail and weight set up which you prefered.

Shot first match in February, so take this reasoning with a grain of salt.
The brass rail is longer, just long enough to leave the bipod on and deployed for stages requiring a transition from prone to chair/blocks and back to prone. It’s also wider and fits the profile of the TCS perfectly, which I think looks better.
In terms of balance (to me), the sweet spot is 3.5-4” from the contact face of mag blocker. I could’ve pushed the mag blocker a touch further towards the mag, but didn’t want to risk contact with the mag extension.
It’s currently at 23 lbs and in the balance sweet spot. My LOP is 12.75” and the rear is a single aluminum butt plate.
All that said, I’m currently running a few more brass rails of various configurations and will have the rifle apart for fitting. I can again check balance point with the factory rail/weight.
