[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1643267, member: 54383"] Yes don’t go to light. When I first did my ultra lite it was to light and impossible to shoot. So I added a eh5 thumbhole and went to a bushnell 6500 scope. Just under 7 lbs done. But that all ti and carbon. Even the firing pin. Found the lightest stuff I could then added it back where I wanted it most. I would say pierce ti action, recoil lug bolt would be a good start. Definitely proof carbon barrel. Make sure to spend some time thinking of twist rate. I’d do 1/7 or 1/8. That was the part I messed up on my first builds. [/QUOTE]
