[QUOTE="winelines, post: 286341, member: 16384"] All good information, thanks for the input. Its a Mark V. I hadn't checked out Manners and Russo - will do that. My current hunting rifles are 1 MOA guns that I can shoot confidently to 450 yds with good rest. I have some farm land that I can practice at that range. But just found a 600yd range within a hour of my house. So I wanted to go 600+ to the limits of my equipment and ability. Your right about the 11 1/2 lbs. I wouldn't be able to do much carrying. My .257 Accumark is 10 1/2 lbs all up and that's about max for me. That's why I am kind of confused. The .750 Shilen barrel is a 5 1/2 contour and at 28" weighs in at at 4 lb 14 oz. I guess fluting would get it close to 4 lb. To get to 10 lb you would need 2lb for the scope and mounts, 2 lb for the action and 2 lb for the stock. That's a pretty light stock. [/QUOTE]
