[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1049775, member: 55230"] A) Tthe sendero contour will be over a pound heavier than the 2b. B) yes, thicker = less whip and more material to heat up. I think heavy hunting rigs are more of a pain than an asset, so I think you're right on track at 8lb rifle b/c w/ base rings optics you're going to be at 9.5# which I think is plenty heavy. My 300wm should weigh in close to that. Keeping weight in mind how about a 6.5cm instead of the 260? You can use a short action comfortably which will shave a few oz's and run a light palma, 2b, 3, 3b, or 3b fluted. Those barrels run from 3.2-4#. The (24")sendero weighs in at about 4.5#. [url=http://www.bartleinbarrels.com/contours.htm]Bartlein Barrels, Inc. - Contours[/url] Stock: 2# Action: 2.3# ?? Bottom stuff: 0.35# scope+ 1.5-2# Barrel: ~3.5# = 9.5-10 ish.. give or take.
