V7 Introduces Ultra-Light Weight 3-Gun/Sport Selectors
Being a fan of the “race to the bottom” that manufacturers are taking in regards to weight, it pleases me to see V7’s introduction of a dedicated sport-set of lightweight safety/selectors. Like most V7 products, the selectors make solid use of titanium and machined billet aluminum.
The right-hand only comes in at 8.6 grams and the ambidextrous a paltry 10.5 grams. Options include a 57-degree throw (both right and ambi) and a 90-degree throw for right-hand only. (Personal thought: Nuts! They were just about perfect, I would like to see the 90-degree for the ambi).
Either style clocks in at a reasonable $51, but the ambidextrous are currently sold out.

because your rifle is not perfect until it's trigger pull weight is identical to the weapons weight minus a magazine of ammo
At this point with the whole weight saving obsession, I'm waiting for the vid where they just turn the gun around, remote fire it and send the rifle hurtling a hundred yards to hit the target.
