[QUOTE="LongWalker, post: 1875108, member: 97337"] Be interested in the pic of where you're lightening the stock (doesn't look like your pic attached). Mine is a Hogue full bed block that I opened the barrel channel for. I'm thinking the factory Accustock/Accufit is lighter. The Hogue is around 2.3 lbs if I recall. FWIW for everyone who shared which I greatly appreciate, I've looked really hard at a Tikka T3x lite in 270 WSM. It seems like a great heavy hitting hunting cartridge that can go lightweight w/o a carbon barrel. But when I start adding up new dies, brass, magnum primers, new projectiles, etc. It makes less sense. Plus I don't think here in the SE I need that big a hammer with I'm sure significantly more recoil than the 6.5 I agree with several folks that a lightweight 280AI might be as close to a do everything rifle as you can get. If Savage, Christensen Arms, Proof or even Kimber would make a lightweight 280AI in a 1-8 twist it would probably be to hard to resist. [/QUOTE]
