[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1073724, member: 55230"] You will inevitably have long range capabilities esp w/ a 26" premium tube on a trued action. You won't make 8lbs w/ a palma of any sort. Your barrel weight will be limited to about 3lbs. I don't know your stock weight but lets just say 2.5 + 2.5 action plus components roughly. You're looking at a sporter weight barrel here. There are few ways to trim weight. 1. Shorter barrel 2. Ultra light stock 3. Ultra light stock + adl config. 4. Fluting, but weight savings will depend on barrel contour. EDIT.... your HS sporter stock weighs about 2.7lbs. [/QUOTE]
