[QUOTE="excaliber, post: 1315306, member: 86034"] I just spoke with the guys at Stiller and they said that the Predator action was just slightly heavier than the Rem 700 (LA) 2 lbs 6 oz. I have a 300 Win mag built on a Rem 700 with a #3 Barlein 5R barrel at 26"(Unfluted) with brake, HS Precision stock, timney trigger and VX-3 4.5x14x40 CDS scope and it weight 9-3/4 lbs with sling attached. You are going to have to go to a McMillan edge stock or Manners stock to drop some weight. They weigh 24-26oz so that would give you about 13 oz less weight just in the stock. Fluting the #3 barrel would only reduce the weight of the barrel by 1.5-2 oz at most. This comes straight from Bartlein. I'm going to be changing out my stock for a McMillan edge stock soon. [/QUOTE]
