[QUOTE="crazymonkey, post: 3073607, member: 125421"] As stated not very realistic . The lighter you go the more recoil you feel . Basic laws of physics. A 6 lb rifle bare is going to be around 8/9 scoped . My 7-08 is a rack driver at 15/16 lbs . Went light and carbon and my 280ai is 7lbs 4 Oz with a scope add 28 Oz plus rings and level and it's going to finish around 8.5/ 9 lbs . Going light isn't cheap !! Carbon barrel,stock,and a great light weight scope and your in the 4 to 5 grand range w/o a action or smith work . That's between 1500 and 2500 conservative for the latter so your in north of 5 to 6 plus thousand or more . [/QUOTE]
