[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 1159277, member: 21869"] I have looked at rifles at smiths that were built to your idea.This is what I did,but was not going for the lightest possible,but more to kill elk at 1000-1200 yrds.My rifle will do it just havent had right set up yet and I only shoot 6x6 bulls.Build as follows-Defiance Rebel(would go Deviant now)26 '' Saturn ABS wrap breaked,Lonewolf kevlar glass summitt,fluted bolt,alum knob,went bottom medal(ADL would save weight)This build bare 7-2oz. 338 NM.Killed alot of game with rifle and so has my son and friends of ours past 500.I can spot my own shots..most times.With my March 3-24x52 rifle sling NFultralight rings it is 8-12 oz.Thats light for long range elk thumper,I almost shot bull at 856 but he moved out of position, I hiked up killed him point blank. Shawn C just did a similar build for himself that is 7-6 oz I believe,look it up on his site.That is a test and he will market.He has had good accuracy out of his. [/QUOTE]
