[QUOTE="DZelenka, post: 545839, member: 20543"] I am having (waiting to be bedded) a hunting rifle in 7 Saum built. It is on a trued Rem LA, 26" Kreiger #5, McMillan Rem Classic stock, BDL bottom metal, Seekins rings and mount and a Leupold Custom 6.5 - 20 x 50 LRT. It looks like it will come in at 9.75 lbs. You could save 1/2 lb with a #4 barrel and another 1/2 with a 40 mm objective scope. It will give you the horsepower you are looking for in an under 9 lb rifle. I built an identical spec rifle in .300 Jarrett with a 3.5-10x40 Leupold that weighs 8.75 lbs. You could play with other stocks and save a bit more weight. You may even get it under 8.5 lbs. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
