[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 1049757, member: 51405"] I am thinking about building a 260 rem. I was originally thinking about 8 lbs without scope, which I planned to get to with a McMillan Hunter with std fill, 24" Bartlein 2B barrel, and deviant hunter action. Not sure what the actual weight would be, but was assuming that would get me to 8lbs give or take. I am now considering possibly going heavier, maybe up to Sendero contour. My questions are a) what would you guess weight would be with a 2B vs Sendero? And would the Sendero offer better long range stability and less whip, along with taking longer to get heat soaked? This will be a primarily a whitetail rifle and practice rifle, and I don't plan to hike with it often, though may do some muley or other western hunting so may pack it occasionally...no more than a 5 day hunt every several years, so weight is not a big concern. Would rather save 2 lbs on other stuff in the pack than the rifle. Thoughts? Thx [/QUOTE]
