[QUOTE="JCFORD, post: 268163, member: 5240"] My advice would be, tell Kirby what weight you want the rifle to be and let him work his magic. If weight is of very great importance. Kirby has some very light weight 7 AM's of his own, but he only shoots them to about 7 or 8 hundred yards IIRC. But really, I would talk to Kirby tell him what you want and what you want to be able to do with it and listen to what he says. He will get you there or advise you to not go there if he thinks you will not be happy with the outcome. Great Smith and builds Great Rifles. I have been using the Stoney Point bi-pod and it will save alot of weight over a Harris, but nothing is as solid as a Harris. I have a 13 lb 7 oz. 270 AM, it has a 30" #7 fluted Lilja and an A5 stock with a NF 5.5X22X50 on it, and if I want to shoot 1000 yards that is what I carry. I do have Kirby currently working a a 7 Dakota that will weight about 10 to 10.5 pounds so I do understand where your coming from. [/QUOTE]
