[QUOTE="Charles P, post: 1793770, member: 112531"] Here is where I went wrong. I blue printed a 700 receiver and installed a Shilen match barrel at 26”. Chambered for 280 Ackley. Used a McMillian stock and a 30mm Leopold scope. Never once did I consider the weight of the final rifle. Took it out west and learned a high altitude lesson on rifle weight. Sold the rifle to a friend. She was a sweet shooting rifle but difficult to carry afield or get in and out of a box stand. Now I am tuning a 7-08 to be my primary rifle. Much lighter and friendlier.
