[QUOTE="TARGETMAN, post: 1100276, member: 14648"] My build will be with the Pierce Titanium action w/titanium recoil lug, McMillan Edge stock w/1" Decelerator pad (could save an oz or so with a 1/2" pad), Hart barrel in Douglas Featherweight contour @20", Jewell trigger, Remingtion blind mag metal, nylon trigger guard, Talley 1 piece lightweight rings/bases. I haven't decided on scope yet. I really wanted a FFP scope w/ballistic reticle that weighed 12 ozs or less but they appear to be non-existant. Most have 30mm tubes and are high magnification. It also boils down to what I can afford after buying all these parts! :) So the short list is: Leupold VX-3 3.5x10x40 at 12.6 ozs W/LR Duplex Leupold VX-2 3x9x40 at 11.2 ozs w/LR Duplex Swarovski Z3 3x10x40 at 12.7 ozs w/BRX reticle Leupold makes an UltraLight VX-2 3x9x33 at 9.3 ozs but for 2 more ozs I can get a 40mm objective which I think is worth the extra 2 ozs for what it will gain in light gathering. The Swarovksi Z3 3x9x36 weighs 12 ozs but the BRX reticle is not available on this scope. [/QUOTE]
