[QUOTE="RDHammond, post: 1442295, member: 105806"] Looking to build a 6.5-06 improved or .280 Ackley on a Remington long action and would like to keep the weight between 8-8.5 lbs. Potential build specs: Remington LA w/BDL BM +trigger 44oz Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 20oz Talley LW 30mm 2oz McMillan Classic Edge fill 24oz Brux #3 @24”-25” ? 48oz Looks like 8.625 lbs. Close... but I’d like to be closer to 8lbs. If there any discrepancies on the above weights please let me know. I’m just guessing on the Brux. They list 3 lbs for a #3. Not sure at what length of barrel they list the weight for. Is that the blank weight before chambering? Im assuming they are using a .30 cal tube for weight estimate as well. Any advice and or information appreciated. If anyone has had a similar rifle built I’d love to hear your opinions on balance and how she shoots. Thanks Russ [/QUOTE]
