[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 929367, member: 30671"] Mike, My set up for the last 30 years is 7.7 lbs. That's with a 2.5-8x Leupold on it. My experience is it's a touch heavy for the smaller kids. I'd like to be in the 5 lb range. Similar actions, the 6mm is on a Remington 600. 20" Shilen barrel, Brown Precision Kevlar stock. Not all that concerned with velocity other than keeping enough to expand bullets. The Grendel is coming in ahead of the 6.5/223 mostly because it's got factory ammo, well sometimes anyway. If a person wanted to re chambering as the kid grows is possible. A suppressor to keep muzzle blast down, I keep meaning to apply anyway. Reflex type sight to keep eye relief generous. Ultralight MPI ambidextrous thumbhole stock for a good handle. Is where my heads at today. Edd I haven't forgot you've got a barrel. If you have an extra minute what's the muzzle come out at 16", 18", 20", and 22". If I can get it together we'll have to let Mady give it a test drive. [/QUOTE]
