[QUOTE="tuscan, post: 3075029, member: 90621"] About 5 years ago I went down this road, researching all the components and talking with custom builders. I ended up selecting a Mesa Precision rifle, now known as Pure Precision. Their ti action, self made carbon fiber stocks with a perfect geometry for recoil management and fit for my frame, a sendero light CF 22" barrel in 6.5 PRC all fit together just under 6 lb. A March scope, Hawkins rings, a TBAC Ultra 7 finish and a Spartan CF bipod finish it. It's the forerunner to what is now their Carbon Ascent model. It is one of the most accurate rifles I own, and I now use it for everything - elk, deer, bear, ibex, sheep, caribou - it is easily the most comfortable rifle I own to carry on mountain stalks. Would I shoot it in a PRS or Hunter match? No. But it goes on every mountain hunt now. I took it over either of my 7mm Rem Mags for my Thoroughfare elk hunt last year. So while others extol the virtues of lugging a heavy gun, I enjoy miles in the mountains with my lightweight on my pack and have not missed or wounded an animal with that rifle. It's all about what is most comfortable to you. [/QUOTE]
