[QUOTE="lilharcher, post: 1170401, member: 83227"] Under 10 lbs for a hunting rig, out to 700 yards, is very achievable. I'd build off a R700 Action, given the ability and availability of custom features. Lots of great barrel makers, although I am biased to bartlien and benchmark. I am actually building a mule deer rifle as we speak, after many hours of research. I chose the 6.5 SAUM (Gap 4s) chamber, which will propel a 130 gr pill at ~3,200 ft/sec, and get you well beyond 700 yards with ease. It should be around 7.5lbs Max, as follows: 1) Rem 700 Short Action - trued 2) PTG fluted bolt w/ magnum bolt face 3) #3 Bartlien barrel, fluted and finished at 24" 4) vias micro break 5) timney trigger (2.5lbs) 6) Manners EH5 (thumb hole) or EH6 (more traditional mountain stock) [/QUOTE]
