[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 193000, member: 8843"] If it were me that barrel would finish at 29" as I cut 1" from both the muzzel and shank so that I'm not reading on an over sized section from lapping , I use 1" but 1/2" is probably fine. I would then send the barrel back to Mike and have him max flute it and relap it ,on a barel that fat he can probaly take a pound out of it. When it goes together , use a titanium brake , use aluminum rings and bases and have the stock "lightned" McMillan stock are pretty haevy and can shed a good bit of weight in non critical areas. You might want to cantact Dave from Versico that is a member here he build some very light rifles in big calibers and may be able to give you some more insite [/QUOTE]
