[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1107555, member: 80699"] So I noted that they only make them for Winchester, Rem and then higher end actions. But I wonder if you could purchase one flat-topped, and then have them inletted by a gunsmith? Is that what you are doing? Or is it limited to the actions they listed on their site, whether they inlet for you or not? I am with you on the balance, that's what keeps me from the 5r..diameter of the barrel is .820 at 26", same as a Sendero. There is a lot of meat there. Put that into a light 26 or 32 oz stock, and I think it will end up being very unbalanced. And really, that's what this whole exploration is about for me...what are the limits and compromises one makes? There is no one right setup, but within the parameters that an individual seems to want, what is the best way to achieve that. The accuguard and accumarks have 24" barrels that are .704 or maybe it was .740. Anyway, they are a medium heavy contour. A compromise between the sporter and the heavy contours. It provides a different gun balance, but also a 'purpose' balance. I read an article that described the accumark as having sporter attributes, not designed solely as a tactical rifle, but can still do the job, while still working as a walking rifle. A compromise, for certain. Its not the 6lb mountain rifle, nor the 11.5 pound long ranger, but a balance of the two. For some, that's not what they are looking for, but it may be just what I need. And how it carries on the shoulder and shoots offhand needs to be one part of the consideration for me, hence my concern about the point you raise about heavy barrels in very light stocks. [/QUOTE]
