[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 149076, member: 12"] [b]Re: Options for \"lightweight\" rifle[/b] there is no inexpensive way to take a sendaro to that weight. Buy a Kimber 84M instead ($800-1000 new) at 5.5-6 lbs and you are there. Cost less and still have two guns. If money is not an object buy the New Ultra Light arms rifle 4.5-6 lbs in any caliber comes with Talley rings/bases and the gold standard on light rifles. Cost is $2400-2800 depending on model and in stock. I have had three and they are normally well under 1". Just figure it out. New stock $250-400 and bedding $150 minimum New barrel chambered and fitted $500 action lightening, bolt, new shroud etc min $200-400 and only one gun. You can look for a used Colt Light Rifle (one on Sniper Hide in 300 Win mag for $445). Colt in early 90s bought the rights to the Ultra Light Arms rifle from Melvin Forbes in WVA. They farmed out production to 40 shops, nothing fit perfectly and they had hard time producing the guns. They came in at 5 lbs, had only three parts interchangable with the ULAs and Colt could not produce them and make money. They folded the project, Melvin bought the rights back and came back out with the "New Ultra Light Arms". any smith can make parts and the ones that finally got put out by Colt were normally good guns.
