[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 795662, member: 2736"] I think I would use stainless or Chrome Moly for the barrel nut because of the thread strength and the same coefficient of expansion as the barrel and the action. (Heating and cooling could cause the nut to loosen) There are less critical areas to shed weight (Scopes weigh 1 and 1/2 to 3 pounds difference and would be a better place to save weight IMO. Just my opinion. Better to be safe than sorry. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
