[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 491098, member: 17112"] The barrel weighs approx. 5.75-6.0 lbs. I've added what pictures I have to show how the stock sits on the rest. Hopefully you can see what you were looking for from these pics. I will say that the gun sat on the rest much better than I expected. I thought the rest wouldn't handle the weight of the heavier gun well but it did. The loads I chrono'ed were around 3050 with H-1000 and 3090 with Retumbo. I haven't had any signs of pressure yet so I'm going to continue working up to get a little more speed and hopefully get more accurate or stay in the same ball park. I had the chamber cut for 3.850 COAL so that I would have the extra case capacity to push the velocity envelope a little past what is expected of the standard STW. Thanks for the kind words from all.
