[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1161890, member: 13110"] I would also do a brake instead of magna-porting. They are way more effective. If you have a backpack with a gun scabbard or aren't going to walk very far then a Rem Varmint contour is fine. If your going to shoulder carry it I would do a #5 contour or maybe even a #4. The heavier the better/easier it is to shoot accurately. A #5 26" and not super heavy on the other components will end up about + or - 10lbs. A Rem. Varm barrel will be closer to 11lbs with a lighter scope and if you use a Nightforce with heavy rings it could easily be 12+lbs. [/QUOTE]
