[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1107907, member: 27307"] predator 22, I've build light, medium and heavy rifles on nearly every action available so the ones you list are good to go in my opinion. The Stiller may be slightly lighter than the other two although Defiance does make a Sheep Hunter action which is lighter weight. Pierce and a couple of others market Titanium actions which are about as light as you can go with the concept. These may be easier to find and buy as opposed to the Remington Titanium which are exceptional as far as being true is concerned but are harder to find for sale. I prefer the Surgeon bottom metal and the style that APA uses since the magazine release is ambidextrous and blended to the trigger guard instead of the stick-type. For less money you can try Dave Kiff's bottom metal although again it's the stick-type. While you may not approve of DBM bottom metal and magazines, they are faster to unload in a situation that requires an empty rifle and all you need to do is run the bolt to load when you want to shoot which you have to do anyway. Vortex makes some fine glass for the price point. The PST line is where you might consider since the Razor is significantly more expensive. I have been using Bartlein barrels for years and I have yet to find another maker with the consistency that Bartlein exhibits. I use either the 5R or 4-groove all the time. Krieger makes fine barrels and I have been seeing good quality from Proof Barrels which are carbon fiber wrapped. This would be the lighter solution. The last four I've used have been extremely straight with proper internal dimensions which were very consistent. Don't forget to check out Brux and Rock Creek. I hesitate to go too light with the barrel contour so I usually recommend a Bartlein #3 as minimum. Do not flute these barrels. Gunsmiths can be a tossup since we are fortunate enough to have a dozen or more who are very qualified. I would take the top 10 from a list and look at their websites, costs and project finish time before just taking someone's suggestion. Talk with them to determine if they have a fit with your thinking about your project. Regards. [/QUOTE]
