[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1085978, member: 4809"] With the equipment listed above for your build, plan on a 14-15 pound rifle. Regarding barrel length, a lot depends on how much performance you are trying to squeeze out of your rig. The 300 grain bullets don't give you much over the 250 gr. bullets in terms of ballistic flight (dial up and hold-off). To make the 300 gr. bullets really shine and reach their potential, I believe you need to shoot an improved Lapua casing using RL 33 in a 28-30 inch barrel (2900 to 2950 fps). [/QUOTE]
