[QUOTE="rollin the dirt, post: 611132, member: 37407"] Update, Well things did not go as planned, money and time became more of a factor than I had hoped. I found some good deals and used some parts I already had. Surgeon action 591/R .223 bolt face------- 2lb 2.2oz Surgeon Tri-rail----------------------------------4oz (I put this recoil lug with rails at the 12, 3 and 6 o-clock, upside down so I can attach a bipod or hand grip to the picatinny rail, It looks funky, but it works and saved weight on the stock by not needing a forend.) Krieger barrel #3 fluted------------------------2lb 6oz Timney trigger-----------------------------------2oz *THE HEAVY PART* Mcree Precision Stock--------------------------1lb 12oz ( I pulled off the forend, the adjustable collapsable rear stock, and the pistol grip. I put on an AR butt stock adaptor, very light weight AR stock, and stuby carbon fiber pistol grip. Total weight so far-------------------------------6lb 6.2oz No rings or scope yet. No pictures yet, the action and barrel are at GAP rifles being smithed for the next 3 to 4 mounths. In the future I plan to put an ultra light stock on, Lone Wolf, Manners, or McMillan Bros. [/QUOTE]
