[QUOTE="NomadPilot, post: 379107, member: 19896"] I'm building a 260, so more or less the same thing. My goal wasn't 10 lb, but I didn't want a 17# beast, either. 10 lb with scope is certainly doable. Here's how I'd do it: [LIST] [*]Surgeon 1086 - ~2.5 lb [*]#3 22" barrel - 3.4 lb [*]EDGE stock w/ ADL magazine - 1.4 lb [*]Leupold Mark 4 3.5-14 - 1.4 lb (NF 2.5-10x32 is even less if 10x is enough) [*]Seekins or other aluminum rings [*]Rem or Jewell trigger [/LIST] So you're at 8.7 lb before rings and trigger (and ammo of course). You could save a little weight by going with 260 in a short action, fluting the barrel... Maybe even go with something other than a Surgeon and use a 2 piece base or Talley rings. I don't know how much you'd save, but that solid 20 MOA rail can't be light. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
