[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 394034, member: 2736"] The Remington action is a good choice because of all the after market parts that are available. The barrel contour I would recomend would be a #4 or fluted #5 Lilja 22 or 23" long (The brake will add 1.5+" to the overall length). I would use the Holland Quick Discharge break because it is very effective and light weight. (The Round one). Composites stocks are all about the same weight so it is just a matter of what you like. For the scope I would look at a Leupold because of the weight and most important Leupold has the most eye relief and with a light rifle you will need all you can get for shooting out of position (Hunting situations hardly ever have perfect shooting positions). Also I would recomend the use of bullets that weight 210 to 225 grains for best performance in this type and weight of rifle. This combination should weigh in arround 8 lbs fully dressed and ready to go but should be very manageable and recoil should not be an issue. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
