[QUOTE="A A Ron, post: 2892103, member: 117277"] Agreed. If I had it to do over I would have done a few things different on this rifle for weight. A lighter contoured barrel and a standard fill weight in the Mcmillian stock vs magnum fill would have helped. A complete rifle under 9 lbs would be nice. Any lighter and rifles are hard to shoot really well for me. Overall I think it turned out great. A Bartlein barrel, Mcmillian stock, and Timney trigger. The action is way over built, but it will last forever. The gunsmith commented how difficult it was to tap the receiver because of the hardness and toughness of the material. The casting process is pretty incredible. [/QUOTE]
