[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2348742, member: 1951"] Thanks. That is what I was thinking, but didn’t want to guess. Each person has to decide what custom is for themselves. I was a little stumped because the goal seemed to be to build a light rifle. Tikka is heavy for ultra light actions, but would be less than 1/2 the price of a light action. Add a light custom slim, short barrel (Pacnor lightweight contour 18”) and a custom 24 oz stock inlet for a Tikka action and you have a pretty light, pretty cheap custom rifle that could shoot as well as any light rifle and only be a few ozs heavier. I think you could get under 8lbs ttl maybe. [/QUOTE]
