Metal vs SMF

Post by canoe13 »

I 'm sure this has been asked before but what is the weight difference in aluminum versus SMF rails of the same length? Is one heavier or not?

I had an Ibex SMF, and a Vortex with the aluminum rail, and although i did not weight them I think the SMF was a bit heavier.

Actually the SMF bows are lighter than aluminum rails. The Ibex weighs 5.8 pounds.
