[QUOTE="choprzrul, post: 3057699, member: 121411"] I bought a used Browning X-Bolt Composite Stalker Long Range 30-06 and had the barrel shortened to 22" by a local gunsmith. I then dropped it into a Boyd's At-One stock and had it bedded: [ATTACH alt="Xbolt.JPG"]552475[/ATTACH] I used that rifle during the 2021 Nebraska deer season and was blessed with this big boy: [ATTACH alt="IMG_4024.JPG"]552476[/ATTACH] I did load development using the Speer 168gr Gold Dot bonded bullets over RL16. Here is the final load and the target as measured using a caliper to plot the points in my PointBlank Ballistics program: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1710091234417.png"]552477[/ATTACH] I don't know if it's under 7.5lbs with that stock, but that 22" medium sporter barrel seems to work really good as it is. I'm thinning down my collection to make room in the safe if you are interested in it. PM me if so and we can discuss. [/QUOTE]
