[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 923519, member: 8927"] Here is my one. It is a Rem Model 7 7 SAUM. I fluted the factory barrel, fluted the bolt and replaced the firing pin with a lightweight version. The biggest weight saving was making a carbon fibre stock. The stock weighs just over a pound. The scope is a Bushnell 6500 2.5-16 x 42 in lightweight Talley rings. The scope is a bit heavy, but the magnification range is great. The bare rifle weighs 5lb 4oz with the rings an scope it weighs 6lb 10oz.

The only animal shot so far is a red hind at 450 yds with the 162 a-max.
