[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 1510758, member: 52585"] I would build if it's in the budget. As stated above there's a lot of light weight factory offerings but they all seem to come at a sacrifice. Now building a lightweight does get costly and quick. No sacrifices though. Were it me and I'm thinking of the same thing I'd go with a steel action of your choice, carbon barrel, Mcm carbon edge fill stock and a light set of rings. I feel like an aluminum rail and either Seekins or NF Ultra-lights are the way to go here. This will have you in the 7-8 pound range before scope. You can shave some weight with a titanium action and bolt but you have to ask yourself if that 8-10 ounces is worth it. [/QUOTE]
