[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1581974, member: 8873"] The weight of the single shot action is a bit more than the repeater (61 vs 53 oz), but add in magazine and such and I’m sure that is a moot point. The contour of the barrel is that of a large magnum. I could measure it and give you the dimensions, but it is fairly similar to what Kirby uses on his lighter .338/.375 Allen Mags. I googled it and searched this site, he lists several times. Not exact, but gave me an idea of how low I could go. Sorry, not gonna strip it down to weigh it as I may use it in the next couple days. Been TDY for a little bit and want to go hunting. As far as the stock, I’m still looking into it. Can’t find anyone that will build a light one for this action. That’s one reason I’d probably go with the 1.45”, seems easier to channel out something already in existence. The A-5 I have is not light by any means, it was built for rigidly. Kirby has built a rifle for me and is top notch, that’s why his wait is so long...he is highly sought after. This rifle was built by Long Rifles Inc, it is just as top notch. You send them the parts and the wait time is waaaayyyy less! [/QUOTE]
