[QUOTE="Brambles, post: 234076, member: 11508"] Yeah that is all the same stuff I did to my Remmy Titanium 280AI, its a light gun but I don't have it tuned up for long range, more of a meduim range rifle for backpacking. Sure I could tune it up for longer distances but thats not what I built it for. I got lots of guns so one more ain't going to hurt. I've had a couple 300 RUM's before and would like another. I see all these longrange rigs with heavy barrels and big tactical stocks and it makes me wonder WHY, there has to be a good reason for all the bulk or guys wouldn't bother, is it strictly for steadying the rifle or??? I still might build a slimmed down 300 RUM for packing but I need to find out WHY all these long range guns are beefy. I had a Sendero SF in 300 ultra mag and packed it a fair bit but I think I still want something a little lighter. Plus that #3 barrel you mentioned is a lot lighter than the barrel most of these guys are installing on their guns, I am actually considering a #3 fluted barrel. [/QUOTE]
