[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 268089, member: 4191"] I think you're to the point where you need to talk to your gunsmith to confirm which barrel contour will result in a finished rifle that meets your weight target. A #4 contour fluted barrel might get you down to 9 lb with scope, depending on the weight of your scope, base, and rings. You'll need to identify the scope for sure, because some weigh 12 oz and some weigh 30 oz or more. To get to 8 lb for the completed rifle, I suspect you'll need to go with a lighter #3 contour barrel. [/QUOTE]
