lg 30 much lighter?

lg 30 = 499gr
lg 28 = 565 g

only 66 grams of difference...wake up guys!!

It's not 66 g (2 1/3 oz = 1/7 of a lb) at the center of mass (i.e. near the handle) but rather the torque (think 'leverage') generated a meter away.  DSMITH explicitly said "toe heavy" and you even quoted that.

66 grams is 2.3 ounces. Add in the lighter weight upper shaft and arm cuff included with the LG 30 eventually, that will be around 5 ounces lighter.

Right now my stock Legend with LG 28 coil weighs 52.6 ounces or around 3 lbs 4 ounces. These mods will get the Legend under 3 lbs and very close to the weight of the original Equinox 800 and Manticore.

I've had mine about a week or so, been swamped, so haven't been able to play with it much (just a bit on our property (5 acres) found a few rusty nails, the brass part of a shotgun sell, and half of an aluminum can..... Hoping to get out soon, I live in an area with old mines and ghost towns, and know where there are some old stone cabins well off the beaten path. But I've still got some major projects to get done before winter......
