[QUOTE="THE1LAF, post: 2978218, member: 127503"] When I started researching my custom build I did a lot of research, forums, podcasts, etc. One of the more interesting ones were the Gunwerks "Long Range Pursuit" Podcasts. Don't get me wrong, they are smooth salesmen, but the balance of portability & shootability was a topic they covered frequently. If they're trying to sell you a 7-13k firearm they have to be smooth, but there are things you can learn and incorporate into other designs Ep: 62 "light Guns and Big Rounds" Ep: 74 "Making "The CUT" Engineering a new ultralight rifle" Ep: 110 "The Nexus rifle system - behind the design" If you take the names out of it, they shoot for ~3 different rifle weights (w. optic) to balance weight & long distance shooting & stability: Under 7# - Ultralight weight Mountain rifle - "The CUT" ~8.5# - Light weight Hunting Rifle - Klymr ~11# - Long range Hunting Rifle - Nexus/Magnus My rifle came out to 7# bare, 9.5# w. optic, 10.2# with a can, but I could have easily cut ~1.5# out of the system with a lighter action & bbl.
