Those SSR's are the Konig Villains by another name (as far as I can see)
...which is what I'm running in 16in right now.  I thought I was
just hallucinating when I thought my 16in Villains weighed less then
my previous 15in MSW's. Maybe I wasn't...still, they seem pretty light
to me. I'll weigh them when I take them off for the winter.
