[QUOTE="adamjp, post: 1432213, member: 40749"] My 6.5 SAUM is 7lb exactly. Remington 700 SS action, factory bottom metal and magazine box. PTG alloy FPA, bolt handle and teardrop knob Lilja sporter contour barrel, fluted. 25.6in length Talley lightweights holding a Swarovski 3.5-18 w/BRH reticle Wildcat composites CF stock in the light construction with a Pachmayer thin pad. [ATTACH=full]96289[/ATTACH] Your 7mm SAUM plan is a good one, just pay attention to the details and you will get under $4k easily. To get to 6lb for the same rifle a Ti action will cut 8oz off. a lesser quality scope that is smaller (like a Swarovski 3-9x36 or Leupold VX2c 3-9) will knock 10oz off The lightest rifle I have built so far was a Model 7 in 260 which came in a 5lb 10oz ready to shoot. Based on this experience, the lower quality scope is a poor compromise. [/QUOTE]
