[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 704121, member: 4686"] Things that are going to add unnecessary weight are thick barrels, heavy bottom metal/mag combinations, heavy scopes, steel bases/rings, large non "Edge" filled stocks and long actions. I went with the following for my light weight Pierce SA #3, 24.5" Broughton in 6.5x47 Lapua McMillan Rem Sporter Edge filled Rifle Basix trigger @ 2.5 lbs PTG alum BDL BM with std Rem box and follower PTG round bolt knob That got me to 6 lb 11 oz.
