[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2514927, member: 87243"] I think to accurately answer your question we need to know the weight of your stock/action/bottom metal and if you want that weight to be with or without the supressor/supressor wrap. I would add the weight of all your other components minus barrel, and then go with the heaviest contour to still make your weight requirements. Keep in mind, listed barrel weights on Kriegers site (and most others) is for the blank, not the finished barrel. Chambering/threading muzzle only takes off a couple oz, however cutting the excess muzzle length and possibly shank can make a significant difference in final weight. Hunting stocks these days can range from 17 oz or so up to well over 4 lbs or more, and actions can be as light as 16 oz for something like a Pierce skeleTI, up to north of 40 oz for a bench rest type. I saw you mention Borden on your last build, but did not specify what this one shall be. More information can help us help you! [/QUOTE]
