[QUOTE="azgutpile, post: 624776, member: 18796"] I'm in the process of building a rifle for coues hunting as well. I gave up on building an ultra light rifle because of the consistincy required to shoot good groups so now I have a target weight between 8-9lbs. Here is a list of what I'm using. Stiller Predator short action Krieger # 5 fluted 24",or Schneider poly #5 fluted 24" (Arizona Co.) (1:9 twist in both) Seekins WSM DBM (bottom metal) allows 3.14 OAL McMillan HTG or A-3 (2lbs) with Edge Tech. Jewell 1lb trigger I'm going to have the barrel chambered in 7mm SAUM which has a very similar powder capasity to the .280 AI, but I'm able to use a short action. I will be shooting the 168 or 180 Bergers. Hope that helps [/QUOTE]
