[QUOTE="rjackh, post: 334846, member: 21677"] ya see im young and able (19) so i feel like i could get used to carrying 11lbs of gun around when i wanted to. i just dont want to get sick of it and have it designated to targets and ground blinds for the rest of its life... i want to cut the barrel only to save weight. i have read some reports suggesting 20" barrels might just be the perfect length in some situations but thats not that big a deal to me. i like the idea of the rifle being fairly compact and light in tactical terms. if i can cut the barrel to save a couple pounds, optics and bipod you bring me back up to 10 or 11 lbs it seems. if i didn't cut the barrel i might be pushing 14 lbs of gun. i know thats only a 2 lb difference between the two but i know a guy with a 16 lb gun that he says theres no way he would lug it around hunting. thats also only another 2 lbs but where do you draw the line ya know? and i trust my smith. its larry from excorio precision arms. hes got experience with this and i think it will turn out just fine.
