[QUOTE="bruno t, post: 973089, member: 78680"] My kimber is thin but its 24 inches, and I'm shooting 600 yards with above average groups. Id say goabout 20.5 inches and flute the barrel, bolt, even the floorplate. That will save weight and look cool to. Also cool it much faster for a 2nd or 3rd shot. My rilfe is almost to light as it is with a vx 3 boone n crocket, reticle, and 4 drounds of 270wsm ammo. The guys at the range couldn't believe it was that light. They said it don't feel like 7pounds 13 ounces. It has a lot to do on how well its balanced. The kimber mountian accent I think weighs 5.5 #s with a 270 win and muzzle break. It also sports a 24 inch barrel, but costs 2k I believe. Take your time and think it through before you go ordering parts for the build. I've seen some nice 20.5 inch mausers with flutting everywhere, as a matter of fact I have a gew 98 chamberd in 6mm ackley improved with alll of the abovel. 24 inches long and feels unreal when holding it. Very light and deadley. I know what your thinking).....dam I really need to rethink my plan of attack. Good luck and do what you will like, its gana be yours not ours. Post some pics along the way.
