[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1966524, member: 10755"] I’ve had a few 24” barrelled 300’s, no animal on the planet will know the difference between 24” or 26”. You may want to get your Model 70 bolt fluted to reduce weight, the action is quite heavy just by itself with steel bottom metal. I think your build is a good one, just need to think about where you can reduce/save weight to meet your goal of 9lbs. I have a Win Model 70 EW, with scope/sling/ammo the lightest I could make it was 8.5lbs. This is with bolt fluting. Barrel is very skinny on this rifle, and it’s fluted. Good luck, hope you come in under weight. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
