[QUOTE="Deleted member 48126, post: 1399016"] [USER=12995]@MudRunner2005[/USER] i didn’t know that about the BC M40 stock. I have had them opened up to support full bull barrels with no issue. To the OP. I would shoot for 12lbs for a .300 win mag. I have a 14lb savage (everything, scope, bipod, etc) in .308 and I can pack it anywhere. Plus it’s a dream to shoot. Literally no recoil. Just something to consider. Also, opening up a barrel channel is pretty easy, if you want to stay with that stock. Those stocks have a lot more meat then you expect on them. [USER=7999]@RockyMtnMT[/USER] thats a beautiful rifle. I think that would be a good bet for the OP to give him some solid ideas on how he wants to attack his build. Also, I’m being sincere when I say this, I tell everyone on this forum and my friends who ask about weight. If weight is an issue, I would get stronger and healthier to pack it around. It’s a win/win you feel better and are healthier from working out and you have a more stable platform when you make those long range shots. Aka not sacrificing anything on the rifle. All my long range rifles are 12lbs and up. Just buy a comfortable sling or pack that going in your bag. That’s just my two cents.
