[QUOTE="zr600, post: 1891450, member: 104269"] I would maybe reconsider the stock, that is a pretty heavy stock if you compare it to some of the non adjustable stocks. Also I would maybe consider a #4 flutted barrel that would probably be about as lite as you could go and still have a stiff barrel. Carbon barrels look cool but that’s up to you, they are pretty darn expensive. I have a 7 mag it’s a Remington 700 bdl, criterion magnum spotter barrel non fluted, with a Mesa altitude stock and it weights almost 10lbs. It packs pretty decent but still isn’t what most people think is lite. Depends on what your goals are. My scope is a Trijicon accupoint 4-16x50, so it’s not super lite but not heavy either. [/QUOTE]
