[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2462331, member: 71221"] Your first post is Epic. A couple of thoughts: [LIST] [*]IMO if you are going to go through the time and expense of a custom build, I would not handicap yourself with a SAAMI chambered prefit barrel. You are handicapping both of those rounds by doing so. [*]Based on my latest build your weight goal with the components you are looking at will likely be unachievable especially with a Palma contour steel barrel and adjustable stock. [/LIST] My latest build has a Kelbly’s long action receiver, AG Composites Visigoth stock (which is one of their lighter ones) Proof barrel, Vortex Razor LHT scope (which is lightest in class @ ~22oz) Arc Rings and Hawkins DBM. It sits at 9#,10oz with no ammo in the magazine. I would expect your build to be at least 2# heavier than this setup and that’s if you used the same optic.
