[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 352804, member: 11837"] thanks guys, as for the gun's weight, well I plan to try to keep things light, but don't want to be over concerned on that as a huge deal breaker. I am looking at some light weight-ish stocks, but think I am going to stick with a McMillian, either the model seven , or edge stock which should help some on weight. as for actions, I am right now either going with a factory remington, 700 I now have, or maybe a surgeon/ or a holland, for right now don't think any of these are any lighter than a 700, but do like these actions I am not a weathy guy, so I am trying to keep it in moderate terms of cost, but don't want to be cheap here I am looking more for help on the barrel I have/had a model seven, and felt that that barrel was too thin, got hot fast, and didn't hold a group well, from the factory, I replaced it with a Hart barrel, at 22 inches, and it shoots like s dream for me. I am looking to build a second one, but this time I am thinking a little shorter, and maybe a thinner barrel than on the one I NOW have! I just don't know all that much on barrel sizes to know what a factory model seven bbl was, and how much heavier I can go without it getting into a heavy -ish rifle. again, I am not looking to build an ULTRA light, but at the same time, I would like it to be light, for long walks! anyone know what size barrel came on a model seven, factory barrel was a 20 inch ss bbl!( might have been 18" been a long time) in 7mm08 I would like to go maybe one or 2 sizes up on that, in a flutted bbl! and that's all what would that be, and what brand bbls would you use if you were building! I know most log range guys like heavy bbls, and I agree for a long range rig, but I only plan to shoot to 300 yrds with this build, so looking for lighter than heavier!! thanks again guys [/QUOTE]
