[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 524673, member: 22069"] [b]Re: having second thoughts.. opinions please[/b] I have a Ruger 77 MkII with a 26" #4 Krieger barrel chambered in 6.5-284 Norma. I pillar bedded the action in a laminated factory Ruger stock (that weighs far less than four pounds) and topped the combo with a Zeiss Conquest. I have not weighed the rifle, so I don't know what it weighs all up. However, the combo is slim, comfortable to carry, and is just slightly muzzle heavy so it tracks smoothly and sits steady on a rest. For a carry rifle, I think the #4 contour is a very good choice. To keep the rifle in balance, however, I would go with a stock that weighs three pounds or less. Provided that you lighten your stock some, I think you will be very happy with your choice of barrel contour in a rifle meant to be carried afield. [/QUOTE]
