[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1712627, member: 70559"] I like it. I'm not averse to the belts, but I did it in a Weatherby Mark V six lug action for lightness so the belt had to go. With a 26" barrel, a brake of my design, a Swarovski z5 5-25X52, and a Proof Research stock it weighed 6 Lb 15 Oz. Twice the z5 had to go in for repair. Both times the note informed me they replaced the erector. The second time I put it for sale with a full disclosure of why. The Proof stock broke in the pistol grip while testing a new muzzle brake. (Different shape ports made some outrageously unexpected vibrations.) The vibration really stung my face and hurt right hand. At first I thought the rifle blew up but realized I was still holding it by the fore end with my left hand. They replaced it free of charge. By the time it came back the rifle had a Pendleton Composite Stock on it and a Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30x50. The stock is just as good and the scope is a skosh better but four ounces heavier. [/QUOTE]
