[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1569683, member: 11960"] You should be able to get within your weight expectations pretty easy. I had a factory Rem 700 SPS in 300 RUM in a B&C Alaskan Ti stock that weighed about 8# 5oz with a VX-3 4.5-14x40 CDS scope mounted on there. A 24" barrel with a #2 contour in a light weight stock would be perfect. As far as a light weight FFP scope, try looking for a used Mk4 4.5-14x50 ERT. You should be able to get one at a good price and I think they're around 22-23oz. The short answer is no. You'll hear a lot of opinions about this, but very few of them come from folks with first hand experience. [/QUOTE]
