[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 720078, member: 1940"] Here's a photo of mine, along with a 500 yard group. This rifle runs about 8lbs. as you see it. Manners Super Light stock Stiller Predator action Satern #4 taper fluted barrel, 26" Jewell trigger Talley rings and bases Nightforce 2.5-10 scope Built by Allen Precision Mine happens to be chambered in 270 WSM, just .007" short of a 7 Rem mag. I am a real fan of the 7 mag. , and with the action you are using I would chamber in the .280 improved. For the weight you want, I think the 5 taper is going to be too heavy. Properly built you should get good accuracy with the 4. Remember though, we are talking light weight rifles here, not purpose built 10 lb long range rifles. While mine gets great accuracy, it will not shoot with my 13.5 lb long range gun. [/QUOTE]
