[QUOTE="bettin, post: 196836, member: 5438"] You also might want to look at carbon wrapped barrels by Advanced Barrel Systems. You will gain 2 advantages: 1) it will weigh about the same as a #1 or 2 contour barrel, with the accuracy of a heavy barrel. 2) it will dissapate the heat created 300x faster then a steel barrel I routinely shoot big calibers (300 RUM, 338 Lapua mag) in 5 shot strings with no waiting between shots, and see no affect on point of impact due to heat. I shoot all the rifles I build in this manner to make sure they shoot sub 1/2 moa. I have no problem putting a 1/2" accuracy gaurantee on rifles with these barrels. Most of them shoot groups in the .2-.3"s. As for a lightweight stock, another good choice is carbon stocks from Lone Wolf. They have several styles available to suit one's taste. You might look at his "Rogue", it has a palm swell, and cheek peice. I find it a very comfortable hunting stock. I put these components together to build long range rifles that weigh under 7 lbs in long actions and @ 6 lbs in short actions, all with .5 moa gaurantees. Todd Bettin Bettin Custom Guns [/QUOTE]
