[QUOTE="Broz, post: 943484, member: 7503"] Thanks Jim, Tony, this rifle should come in about 9 lbs complete. I simply do not want a rifle lighter here where we hunt. Weight is stability I find necessary to keep in the .5 moa area out to 800 yards. The bullets I intend to use will have a G1 BC of close to .8 and the chambering should push them close to 3000 fps. from a short barrel. I have a real short one going together now so I will be able to confirm that. This would make the shot at 800 yards very doable even in mountain or canyon winds with adequate practice. My main reason for this build would be for wolf hunts, so small targets at distance are in the plan. But this also would double for an elk rifle when I draw that tag in the limited areas and go deep for a real trophy. I may also use it for some bear hunts on horseback. Jeff [/QUOTE]
