[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 1567421, member: 13732"] A Pierce titanium la is 19oz I believe, run it in a wildcat composites long range stock(22oz) set up adl style, add a trigger, mag spring and follower, you're at 45 oz or so. The lightest 26" barrel you'll get arguably will be a hells canyon Light hunter, and that will be in the 44oz area. You're already at 5.6#, I built a rifle, LPA Razor-ti short action, Hawkins bdl, mickey game hunter edge, 24" sendero lite 6.5mm w/ ti brake. Rifle is 5.7#, the only place I could have saved weight was going adl stock, and slightly lighter in the barrel with a different contour from HCA or carbon six, maybe another 6oz. You're not going to get below 5.5# with a 26" heavy contour barrel, long action, and a long range style stock. I've saw kimber Montanas with ti bolts, 18" barrels bores out to 358 cal in pencil contours that were 4.5# there not a lot of space to save weight on something you want to shoot long range [/QUOTE]
