[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 629656, member: 3733"] I don't think you have a clue what you want, or what your stepping into. You want a light rifle yet you pick the heaviest factory action to build it on. why? You didn't say how far you will actually shoot, but said the scope had to make them look right up in your face at 500 yards. So is this how far you plan on shooting for a max range? So in reality nothing over 10lbs? your average LR scope and bipod is going to weight 2.5-3 lbs so now you want a rifle only at 7 lbs.?? Whats the point of building a 300 or 338 ultra magnum LR gun with a 24" #3 contour barrel? because thats all it will be to make the weight your requesting. If you think this is going to be a 500 yard or under gun sure a 7lb rifle will work, but then put it in a cartridge appropriate for that range, and that petite of a rifle. What your expressing is the dream of every neophyte that wants to get into LRH. Build a 12-14lb packaged gun, if you want to shoot to 1000 yards. If you want a light 500 yard poke and pray gun your on the wrong forum. There is your expert advice.:) [/QUOTE]
