[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 920865, member: 11717"] You are never going to have an 11 lb rifle be as rigid as a 17 lb rifle with the same length barrel... not even close. Your stock is going to weigh 2-3 lbs, your scope is going to weigh 1 1/2 - 2 lbs, your action is going to weigh 2-3 lbs and lets forget the ammo and bi-pod. So on average, your rifle minus the barrel is going to weigh 6-7 lbs. That is 5 lbs of barrel to 11 lbs of barrel best case. No way. I don't see how you could remove more than 10-15% of the barrels mass without seriously affecting its integrity. [/QUOTE]
