[QUOTE="youngtrout, post: 720082, member: 5373"] Look hard at weights of components if you are shooting for 7-8 pounds. I weigh pretty much everything, most of my hunts use my back for all transportation Live in ak and try to fly in when I can Anyway, 7-8 pounds is already heavier than most of the shelf "sporter" rifles. Scopes and ready to go. Even at 8 you are talking a 6.5 factory gun. 7... You are talking a pencil barrel. Not the 5 fluted you mention Again, weigh your components. Throwing out 7-8 pounds is harder to accomplish than you think. Think most have a light weight sporter in mind and end up with a 9 ish pound gun. [/QUOTE]
