Looks like the fortis is 11oz. So it will be light and easy on the arm.
The Troy looks tougher but I bet is heavier. But maybe more comfortable to grip.
Idk

Yeah its a lot of give and take when it comes to firearms, even when you can build your own its not always ideal.

My only concer I guess with the fortis is when grabbing and shooting will fingered and gloves get caught in its design? Or sticks and brush since I spend lots of time in the woods. Also with the bottom rail I wonder how it will feel with a C clamp grip...

you can get rail covers which would take care of the lower rail issue.

I did just come up with a concern with the fortis. It uses to locating tabs on te upper. But I'm worried the MUR uppers thicker walls may not work with those tabs

That may be an issue I would email both and see if they know.

That's sweet. Looks like my ideal rifle with no optics or mags/ammo or BUIS tips the scale around 8.3 pounds.
