[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2062846, member: 68875"] The EH1A w. Mini chassis is a fantastic stock. I have one. But, it is almost a 4lb stock. Half of what you want finished weight to be. Maybe look at an EH1 w. Ultralight cheek piece and go with pillar bedding and an M5 DBM bottom metal instead. Sell the EH1A to fund it maybe? As for actions, out of what you have on hand, the TL3 or Deviant would be my choice. Nice to have the choices you have. Barrels, hard to beat a Proof CF Sendero Light for stiffness yet weight is not an issue. But the full Sendero only weighs a couple ounces more, and stiffens it up quite a bit. I have 7 Proofs. All tack drivers. For lighter weight but still stiff enough steel, I like the Bartlein 3b fluted. Have one on a 7RM. Accurate as heck. I think the CFs look/fit better in an EH1 than a lighter contour steel though. Good luck with the build. Can't wait to see where you go with it. [/QUOTE]
