[QUOTE="greener280, post: 449177, member: 7163"] Im not really sure if having a ADL style magazine box over a BDL style floorplate is going to reduce the weight of a rifle enough to make that big of a difference (but shaving a bit of weight here and there will add up) Ok if I was looking to take my rifle and reduce the weight a little bit I would probably do several things. First thing would be a change in caliber and barrel. I would switch to a 7mm WSM; the shorter fatter case is going to get me the same performance as my 7mm Rem Mag but it is going to do it with a 24in barrel, saving some weight. (Also I would still build on a long action remington because I like to have room in my magazine to play with my seating depth) Second thing I would do is change the stock to a McMillan EDGE stock, they weigh justo over a pound. That setup should be able to get your 8lb mark. Also the rings and bases are made by Shawn Carlock at Defensive Edge. They are spendy little buggers but I feel they are worth it. Shawns products are some of the best and I can install an ACI/ACD mount to them. Talley also makes some of the same style of ring/base combo. [/QUOTE]
