[QUOTE="youngtrout, post: 718917, member: 5373"] Got it on weight. So looking in general at a build 4oz for some talleys (or around that) 20oz for an average 4-16 or 6-20 1.5lbs looking for a rifle in about the 7.5 range which is do-able. Could lighten up your current 7mag, 7mag is a great caliber, drop the 4.5lbs you list for scope and bases to 1.5lbs (see above) Could get to 10.75 with optic / base changes, sure you could squeeze another pound or two going with a different stock. But back to range, still would shoot what you have to 600-800 a lot. Would give you a benchmark down the road But again if it were me I'd look at quality over quanity. Use the action you have. Have it trued and barreled with top end barrel. New stock trigger. Just ballpark but around 1200? And you have what you want [/QUOTE]
