[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 156727, member: 10"] I have read from others about tests they did on the Christensen arms rifles where they found what is believed to be factory Rem 700 barrels under the carbon fiber. I have also inspected a receiver from one of these nearly $4K rifles and as far as being accurized, it was no better then a factory Rem 700. In fact, from what I could see, unless the receiver was refinished after machining, it was not trued at all, Get a Rem 700 receiver, get it accurized, fit it with a small contour ABS barrel with a lightweight quality carbon fiber stock and you will be pretty close to your goal. Realize that the lighter the rifle, the harder they are to shoot at long range so do not expect to have a 6 lb rifle that will hold 1/2 moa out to 800 yards. The rifle may well do it but to stear the rig that well is a real challange for the pilot. For a general purpose big game rifle however, go for it. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
