[QUOTE="neilbfree, post: 2321724, member: 88593"] Last spring, I built a left handed bolt 6BR after getting fed up of only having a choice of 243 or 30-06 left handed base model bolt guns in the store (if they had any at all). I finally enjoy shooting a bolt action. My 6BR build - Bighorn TL3 SA ~7 lbs? PVA/Rock Creek 26" steel M24 profile TriggerTech Diamond flat trigger 5.4 lbs - Magpul Pro 700 folding stock (works for both left and right hand) MPA magazine with 6BR Kit and 4 Round Extension Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 Magpul bipod Weight = pretty heavy but with the Jetblast muzzle brake, recoils almost like a 22LR 29.7gr Varget pushing Sierra MK 107 from Peterson brass lit by a CCI 450 primer at 2783fps - inexpensive & accurate. I am in the process of reusing the action, trigger and scope for a 6.5PRC build. The TL3 I just need to replace the bolt head with magnum head ~32 oz - AG Composite Alpine Hunter OR Manners EH6 6 oz - Hawkins bottom metal - DBM 28 oz - TL3 action 72 oz - Preferred Barrel - 24" light palma barrel 31 oz - Vortex strike Eagle 6-24x56 Total ~ 168 oz = 10.5 lbs Hopefully, some 6.5PRC brass will become available in the next few months. If I like the 6.5PRC, I'll cut the weight for hunting and possibly treat myself to a new scope Cut weight Proof carbon barrel 24" Sendero - 3lbs 2oz = 50 oz - save 22 oz Total ~ 146oz = 9.125 lbs Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 - 28oz - save 3oz Total ~ 143 oz ~9 lbs [/QUOTE]
