Any tube rifle builds for hunting? (lightweight)

[Chris]

Why don't we see tube hunt rifles?

 

Anyone here have one? Cost? Weight?

Ive looked at the tube guns and decided I liked the chassis system better. I like the adjustment that you can choose from on both. They are great for kids and packing too since u can collapse them down easily. The pistol grip feels great when shooting prone. The tube gun requires a special recoil lugs that would have to be installed by a smith, the chassis you just drop a regular rifle into it. You have a bit more metal in the tube gun design making it a bit heavier. This one with out the scope I wanna say is a little over 8#. I looked at the tube gun for a long time and decided a chassis made more sense. There are a lot of chassis type stocks out there, this particular one is brand new from the Outdoorsman here in town. I just barely got the gun put together, myself and a few others have shot it now and everyone loves it.

Wow. Those things are ugly. Seems like you'd have to keep them in a backpack or something. Can't imagine they'd ride real well on a sling.

[AverageJoe]

Definitely ugly!

I just built one and tried to make it as light as possible. With my scope it weighed in at 11 lbs. David

If a gun shoots great I don't give a ----- if it looks like Hillary's bare a$$.

 

Dead deer don't give a squat either.

Id rather use Larks 7/08 than one of those!

I have friends with both Eliseos and Tubbs, but never thought of building a hunting rifle on one. Way too ungainly in my opinion.

I hate you Casey. Whatever a tube gun is, it is uuuugly. I don't even think my mule would pack one. Be afraid the other critters would tease him. Lark

How am I supposed to put a McMillan on that?
