[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 2194600, member: 13732"] No issues with the sr3 at all, I have an origin and have shot a handful of tl3. The sr3 in bdl with give you the lightest option, run a wyatt's cfe-12 box with a Hawkins M5 oberndorf bottom metal and that should give you 3 rounds down in the mag and still give the great feeding from center.(the origin long action can also be cut to accept a wyatt's extended box and save you quite a bit of money) If you want to run a standard Hawkins oberndorf bdl(non M5 footprint) I gurantee only 2 rounds will go into the magazine. You can also use a MBE-3 mag box and feed off the action lips, but I personally don't recommend that, center feed is much more reliable and only puts once direction of force on the round vs 2 when stripping from mag and chambering. Option B: is run tl3(or origin) and Hawkins la hunter dbm(releasing this summer) using 3rd accurate mag cip mags but you'll likely end up 4-5oz heavier and be limited to coal of 3.75". The wyatt's has an internal length of 3.83 for max coal. Whichever route you go, the alpine hunter is a great stock! I like mine quite a bit. Just make sure that you get Hawkins bdl for the cfe box, and Hawkins M5 if you go dbm setup. Enjoy the build! Do not go TI, if you want real light, go with an anti(X) or bat vampire. Too many horror stories of ti actions gauling and set back at the lugs and they're paper weights at that point. If sub 8# is your mission, go with one the prior to stated actions, 26" light steel contour, or carbon setup in the AG alpine hunter with a bdl setup. [/QUOTE]
