[QUOTE="bronco, post: 809419, member: 48575"] So I have been thinking of a .308 ultralight rifle build. Here is what I have so far: By my math it should finish of at 5.5 lbs for the bare rifle and 6.5 lbs, scoped and ready to hunt. [LIST] [*]Defiance sheep hunter action, deep flutes [*]Blind magazine [*]#3 Broughton 5c 1-10 twist, 20” finish, 8 Flutes [*]Jewell trigger at 2lbs [*]Talley LW Ring/Base [*]Swarovski Z3 3-10x42, ML Reticle [/LIST] What I can't decide is the stock... McMillan Hunter’s Edge or Manners EH-4; both with a 14.5” lop with 1” pad The Manners looks like it would come out a couple ounces heavier, they will both accommodate my giant frame. Any opinions or experiences? Mostly on the two stocks but I am open to ideas on the build as well. [/QUOTE]
