[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1325582, member: 55230"] Depending on the stocks you have on your other rifles I'm gonna say your new proof barreled rig will be lighter but will still be in the 9# range. If you want light you're gonna have to go w/ a light stock, the proof barrel doesn't offer a terrible amount of weight savings, but if funds allow.. then go for it. Weight savings can also come from the scope and rings. I'd start looking at Mcm Edge fill and manners eh. Or consider a 28ss and run it on a short action. I had a savage sporter barrel 300wm on an HTG edge stock that weighed about 7.5-8lbs, it was very shootable. You can always opt for a brake if need be. I also have a stiller 300wm on a gamescout w/ a cut down med palma 25" unbraked that weighs in at 10.5lbs.. my 115lb girlfriend has zero problems launching 215gr bergers with it. [/QUOTE]
