[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 370617, member: 11837"] well I built mine on a rem 700 ss action, blue printed, and used a hart barrel, with there intermitted fluting , finished at 26 inches, don't remember the exact barrel size, but its fairly heavy, but still able to carry it pretty far without a major pain! put on a HART muzzle break, one of the removable ones , and never use it, too much back noise with it on for me! I have it in a Mcmillian stock. all in all, it loves 250 grain loads, I shoot Ac 250's, and can hold 1/2 '' groups if I do my part! I have it right now in just a stainless finish, but do plan to have it coated with cerecoate, nothing fancy, just a solid color to match the stock! I have a leupold mark V 4.5x14x50mm scope on it also it still has its factory trigger, but it has been tuned to 2.5 lbs, and breaks clean and crisp as it is, recoil is no problem, can shoot 40+ rounds at the bench with no problems never weight it, but would guess it at about 13 lbs all set up! in hunting mode I have no complaints at all!
