[QUOTE="BlackTail30, post: 2023071, member: 8632"] I did a Tikka build with a 24” Proof Carbon Sendero prefit and the Mesa Precision stock. 24” Proof barrel weighed 2 lbs 9.5 oz (never did weigh the factory barrel). Total weight came in right at 6.5 lbs. You can probably make the factory stock work but I’m guessing it will be less than ideal with a Proof barrel in it. Going off memory the Mesa stock weighed pretty much the same as the factory stock so no weight savings there at around 28 oz (though I like the Mesa a lot more than the factory stock). With a 21” barrel and an ultra-light stock you should be able to get down below 6 lbs on that tikka and have a slick rifle, though if you have to buy a new stock the build is going to be quite a bit more than $1,400.
