[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 1720743, member: 4686"] It would be easy enough to build a LW LR rig. The lighter one goes, typically, the more expensive it gets. Here is my 8.2 lb rig in 6.5x57 BR (8x57 necked down with 30 deg blown out shoulder). Think 6.5PRC specs but in a .432" bolt face. Rem 700 LA, trued and lightened. 26" # 3 fluted Hart barrel. Two stage Timney D'Arcy Echols Shrike stock (made by McMillan to D'Arcy's specs) Talley LW NF 2.5-10x32 with Velocity 600 reticle. Running Barnes 127 LRX @ 3102, dropped a bull elk last Oct @ 810 yds Running Nosler 142 LRAB @ 2950, dropped cow elk last Jan @ 300 yds and obtained my 1000 yd Milk Jug Challenge with it the month before. Oh, and I run it suppressed with a TBAC 6.5mm 7" Ultra can.
