[QUOTE="Doc7, post: 1128072, member: 87164"] Hello all, I hunt whitetail deer out of a tree stand and intend this rifle to be used for that purpose as well as shooting at the rifle range, unfortunately only 100-200 yard shots usually. For hunting shots are much more likely to be under 100. The rifle will be 7mm-08 or similar cartridge, using Savage 11 action with DBM. I think want it to weigh 9 lbs for recoil mitigation of this light kicking cartridge, to make range trips even more enjoyable and because it won't be lugged around on a hunt. I want to use a laminate Boyd's Prairie Hunter stock which weighs 2.8 lb. With my Vortex 3-9x40 scope and DNZ rings, I am in for about 6 lbs on the stock, action, and scope. To reach 9 Lbs, it appears a PacNor #1 Sporter contour, 22" , 3-groove will be the proper barrel. However, I am wondering if you all think that this will balance ok? I am unsure if this will result in a whippy seeming rifle due to the weight in the rear. Thanks for any thoughts! [/QUOTE]
