[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2002392, member: 94491"] Light weight is fairly expensive, unless you find it at a killer deal from a "buddy" I built a sub 6 pound rem700, but I got the rifle from a family friend for $200, and the ultralight carbon fiber stock blank here for $100 and finished it myself. Normally the rifle i started with would have been close to a grand, and the cf stock would have been $600-900 finished. I also had the barrel cut down 2 inches and threaded, and lightweight scopes aren't cheap either. I also built an ultralight 308 AR, spent quite some time researching parts to save as much as I could, I even machined to lighten both the upper and lower-- it ended up at right around 6 pounds with optic and cost slightly under a grand. What is your budget? Problem with lightweight for your situation is that it increases recoil significantly, you'll need a very good muzzle brake to help. [/QUOTE]
