[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 144282, member: 4683"] Doug , I just had this conversation over at 24hr campfire. I've rooted around at some of the online gun sale places to see what looked appealing. Buds guns in kentucky has a rifle [actually two] that caught my eye for this type project they are model 7 rem's in 7mm and 300 saum's for $429 new. That's an excellent price for a laminated stock remington. My idea was to lighten it up by sawing out the middle of the back of the stock and whereever else i thought i could get away with. The 7mm saum w/140 gr. accubonds should do great for what you mention although it is a magnum.Recoil probably wouldn't be all that bad. Anyway i'd have already bought one of them but i have a browning 7 wsm and a rem 270 w/a hs precision stock.So the next step for me would be a titanium model rem or a kimber montana although i'm hearing not too good of things about montanas quality assurance. A lot of guys point out that it is hard to shoot a really light gun well without A LOT of practice. Best to you -Mike [/QUOTE]
