[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 239063, member: 8843"] Joel's stocks are great and I highly recomend them , he may be able to remove some wood to lighten it but its still gonna be heavier than a composit , woods just heavier than fiberglass covered foam. As for the barrel , a #7 is gonna weigh about 7lbs at 30 inches so that may be a bit much , stiff yes , but heavy For a hunting rifle I'd get a light Palma conture , its cross between a sporter and Sendaro conture , and their 5.5 lbs at 31" , cut that back to say 28" and you should get plenty velocity from the 338 Lapua and cut about .75lbs off of it. The ABS barrels are another choice , but your looking at $900 and last I heard a long wait. You don't need a truck axle sized barrel for the gun to shoot accurately , you can get good accuracy from a pretty thin barrel , it may start to open the groups up alot faster but how many shots do you take in a row while hunting?
