[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1746312, member: 54178"] Have a 6.5 PRC X-Bolt Pro at 6 lbs. 3 oz. which is a short action. But for a lighter rifle in a long action I'd look at the Barrett or Christensen Arms and Proof Research. The latter two have carbon fiber wrapped barrels to reduce weight. Be careful rifles in th 5 pound range with carbon fiber stocks as those ultra light stocks may not be strong enough. The Browning X-Bolt Pro carbon fiber stock is a bit heavier B/C they used a heavier foam core for added strength. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
