[QUOTE="jrock, post: 3074019, member: 78569"] I concur with FiftyDriver. Stocks with good fit up and ergonomics for long range UL hunting are few. That is one reason why I created the CF Versa stock. Going with a stock in that weight class will allow a sub 6 lb build pretty easy. I prefer smaller profile steel barrels over carbon. Here is one full sized rifle we did with a 24" fluted #2, AnTi action , CF Versa stock, in 7 SAUM. Bare rifle weighed right at 5 lbs. It shoots very well. It has mild recoil with a can and is still controlable without. I've also built ~5 lb rifles geared around no recoil reducution. Did one on a Dasher and it recoils like a .223 pushing 100 grain bullets at 2950 from a 24" barrel. It's .243 performace with less powder and recoil. A lot goes into matching components, cartrige, and use to have a great shooting UL rifle. [/QUOTE]
