[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1359054, member: 97414"] I did the Remmy 30/06 Long Range this summer. Part way into the harvest season as a change up is soon to follow,,, on this rifle that is. About 1700 rounds threw the 26" heavy barrel,,, weighs in at about 10 ish lbs. All ready did the zero stress bedding, Jewel match trigger, and Nikon BDC retrical scope,,, the Wildcat Composites Stock is in. This stock is a short light weight version of a F Class / PRS competition,,, once I rebalance the package the barrel length will be about 22" to 23". The factory Remington Long Range Stocks are heavy,,, this is good since it has allowed me to push this rifle to the 1 km mark / 1180 yards. About 10 outting at that range. Excellent for shooting range and predictor control, but not the best packing around the bush lands, so lighting it up will improve the outting. The last part of its life with this barrel will be in the Bush Hog style since my harvests are normally in thick timbers,,, with options to reach out there "if" needed. The full package will be close to the 8 lb range with optics, ammo, By-pod. Each person knows what their after,,, not to heavy,,, not to light depending on what the unit is for. Weight is not the main factor in my builds, being able to range, swing, aim, fire along with follow up is a idea that works for me,,, close up and personal that is. Custom works is the best as we fit the rifles to our liking,,, we will know when its right when the critters fall and targets at distance show positive signs of closer to the Bull then out side of it.
