[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1138188, member: 2011"] I think you're making a mountain out of a mole hill. Unless you weigh less than 125 pounds soaking wet 10.5 pounds (I'm assuming that's with the scope mounted) shouldn't be too heavy. Remember this is a long range forum thus every one, as in me, assumes all rifles are for long range hunting where weight, to a point, is an advantage. My lightest LR rifle is 12 pounds but then I don't walk and stalk and a pack animal carries my rifle and most other stuff. :) The difference between a fully custom rig and an blue printed factory rifle is possible a fraction of MOA in group size and tons of dollars. I will mention that a custom rig built by a quality builder will save a ton of money and time in developing loads and burning powder. If you have the bucks go the custom route but you're on your own regarding "your" gunsmith. If you want a reference/recommendation send me a PM. [/QUOTE]
