[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 337162, member: 12"] for the 338 if you go with a straight taper and a shank of 1.350 for about 4-5 inches and then taper down, that allows one rechamber later on. That is going to make a heavy blank in the 8-10 lb range with a 30-32" blank Now go smaller shank and more radical tapers, you can cut weight. Here is a link for pics of mine with a more radical taper [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/snake-2-338-lapua-ack-imp-41682/[/URL] Figure stock is 4-5 lbs, and action 2-4 lbs with bottom metal That is putting you in the 14-18 lb range with no scope Joel Russos A5Ls are great stocks. Manners makes some very good stocks that can be made lighter also. BH [/QUOTE]
