[QUOTE="sanjuanfly, post: 481988, member: 31433"] I'm in the design process of building an antelope/mule deer/elk rifle. It will be on a Rem 700 action. I do a lot of backpack hunting so weight is at a premium. Here are some of the specs currently: - calibers are: 340 Weatherby and 7 mm RUM (possibly 7 mm Weatherby) - stock - Lone Wolf Monte Carlo - weight about 2 pounds - bottom metal - PT&G aluminum 2.4 ounces - barrels Pac-Nor - 22" but not sure about the contour...either a lightweight unfluted (2.3 pounds) or a #1 fluted (2.3 pounds) - bolt work...alum firing pin, alum bolt shroud, fluted, lightweight bolt handle. Some questions I have: 1) would anyone be willing to flute an lightweight barrel? I could drop the weight another 8 ounces. 2) any other ways to cut weight? 3) recommendations for a good lightweight scope and scope rings? 4) any other issues I might be missing? 5) Other caliber recommendations? Thanks in advance, Scott [/QUOTE]
