[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1128306, member: 55230"] The savage DBM could be changed to a center feed blind mag reducing weight and would probably make it an easy DIY bedding job which could allow for at least a magnum contour barrel. Add the boyd feather light stock and beef up the barrel a little more. If this is going to double as a range gun I would certainly look into a heavier barrel. Your magazine space will be a waste when your sporter barrel looks like a wet noodle after a few consecutive shots. As for balance, I have a Mcm htg edge (blind mag/adl) on a savage LA w/ a 24" CBI light varmint barrel its a tad front heavy but a non issue really, the CBI heavy sporter will move a little weight towards the shooter. I think the balance of your rifle will not be an issue esp w/ a wood stock (vs ultralight carbon etc...). My gun is capable of about 1/4". Off the top of my head I think my rifle weighs in at 9.6# scoped w/ a 18oz scope. [/QUOTE]
