[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 967991, member: 61747"] If you want to build a light rifle then I would go 1 or 2 ways personally. Remington or Savage action. Proof Research Barrel or fluted stainless Synthetic stock with pillars and bedded. You could go hollow butt or carbon fiber web. On that note I would go Short action and go with a 7 SAUM or 6.5 Sherman. Short action is a just ounces lighter but why not do it if you want light weight. Since you are near my area you could call me. Ed Sweet is my prefered local smith. He does some impressive work, but it is not cheap. Ed has some super light weight rifles he has put together. For the distance you talking about scope and barrel length options are quite high. You could go 20-22" barrel and something like a 3.5-15 x 50mm scope. I use a 4.5-14 Leupold on my 204 out to 700 and it works very well for hunting. My LR rifles are running Night Force and Sightron 5-25 type power. Big and heavy scopes but they work great for shots past 1000. [/QUOTE]
