[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1386395, member: 54383"] Highly doubtful you can make that weight. I just built one last year with a ti action, bolt, firing pin, proof 22" barrel, lightweight carbon stock, tally rings, even had the recoil removed and replaced with Hastings light weight. Had action screws cut out of ti and spent many hours searching for lightweight scopes. Still over 6lbs scoped. You may get close but you will give up so much barrel length to save weight which is where most weight is. If you go with a very thin profile and have twisted flute the crap out of everything. I may build one even lighter but keep it for under 300 yards and pick a caliber that does not need a larger bore like a 6x25mm. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
