[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 22530, member: 25"] Most barrel maker's sites (or catalogs) have a chart that describes the barrel contours they offer. If you talk to the builder he can also tell you pretty accurately how much your barrel will weigh when you have cut off a certain length from a certain contoured barrel. I would question if your could get a rifle built that light with a 0.950 muzzle at 27". You can easily weigh your action, stock, and scope. Then you will know how much barrel weight you can use to stay within your weight objective. We checked some rifles that have fairly heavy stocks and muzzles in that range and they are 12-14 lb. or even a little more. Someone like Dan Lilja would help you get the correct barrel blank real quick. [/QUOTE]
