[QUOTE="Bull45cal., post: 288102, member: 9768"] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Ok, I’m not going to answer your question, just give you some facts. If you are currently shooting a Rem. 700 Sporter, it weights around 7.25lb, with scope and rings we need to add a pound (8.25lb). If your getting to a 26” straight taper barrel with the .875” muzzle, then you increase the weight 3.625lb, bringing it up to 10.875lb (10 7/8lb).
