[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 1367596, member: 13732"] What are you shooting for total rifle weight minus optics? If you're wanting something that you can put more than a few rounds through before it heats up, you're going to want a heavier profile, #4 or larger, in 26" that's not that light of an option. I'd say get a new Christensen carbon barrel in 1:9. Get a stocky's carbon, they're nice, or go with mcmillan or manners. You could do the Christensen/stocky's combo for 1150 and be at total weight of less than 5# between the two. I built a rifle with a razor titanium action, 28oz mcmillan, and with a 26" #5 benchmark in 7mm rifle is just barely under 8#. Had I gone carbon(proof or Christensen) , it'd been under 7#. [/QUOTE]
