[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 2062669, member: 23070"] I’ve decided my 2021 project will be a dedicated hunting rifle. Caliber isn’t in the debate. It will be a wsm on a long action. I currently have a 300 Norma hunting set up for the longer pokes 600-1000 and would like this to be from 100-600. the Norma comes in fully loaded around 12lbs range but it’s big with a 27” barrel plus brake. what id like to know is what barrel contour would one go with for weight savings. I’d like to hear 1 carbon options, ans 1 stainless option possibly fluted. Ideally I’d love to have this come in at 8lbs give or take but no more then 10 at the absolute most. rifle will have a tt special. I was thinking like a #5 fluted at 24”s or a #3b area. Stock is not 100% settled but I have a brand new eh1a with minis chassis and mag sitting here so why not use it I guess. action is still in the air but no big deal. Currently have stiller, kelbly, zermatt tl3, defiance deviant, terminus Zeus. Was thinking maybe a KS LAR but we will see. No rush on that. [/QUOTE]
