[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 634332, member: 13110"] A 30" 1.250" diameter barrel usually weighs about 10lbs (give or take a bit because of bore diameter) and I think the F class guys are limited to 17lbs but I'm not 100% sure. I have built quite a few .30 caliber magnums with 1.250" x 30" barrels and they end up about 16.5-17lbs with Leupold 6.5x20x40's in light mounts, a muzzle break, a Remington 700 action, in a Rem. 40x wood stock. A Nightforce scope and some of the glass stocks will add quite a bit more weight so that means less barrel. You would probably have to do something like a max HV contour to make weight with heavier components. [/QUOTE]
