[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1569493"] Good call I believe you chose a great caliber. I have an ultralight 6.5 saum built on a Tikka action, mcgowen makes prefits with barrel nut for Tikkas btw. I have a factory Tikka contoured barrel with spiral flutes, I can tell you that -8 oz on a #2 isn't likely. You'll be lucky to shave off 4oz. Just my opinion here but I would recommend buying a left handed Tikka in 7mm or 300 win for a donor, the action weighs 28 oz and won't need trued. A 7saum would work perfectly and has the same ballistics and effeciency as the 280ai, plus high quality brass is really catching on. I just got a wildcat Tikka stock and it's really impressive. Weighs 17oz, and with a microcell recoil pad will finish just under 20 oz. [/QUOTE]
