[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2030274, member: 68875"] My daughter has been shooting a 6.5SLR for about 7 years. The original build was a tank @ 15.5lbs to get her a heavy, stable gun to practice with. Well, she shot it so well and had such confidence in it, the rifle became her main hunting rifle. Deer kills at 532 and 637. R700 SA trued w. Alloy tac knob 28" 1:8" Bartlein Sendero w. Badger Thruster brake Manners T2A R700 SA alloy BDL Timney Calvin Elite Seekins 20MOA Picatinny rail Seekins 34mm low rings Kahles K624i When we burned the barrel out at about 2500 rounds, I totally rebuilt it to shave some weight, since I end up carrying it for her usually. It is not a true ultralight, but lost 5 full pounds with the rebuild, down to 10lbs 8oz scoped and suppressed. R700 SA (same action) w. Alloy bolt shroud and carbon fiber knob 22" 1:8" Proof Sendero Light w. TBAC CB brake and TBAC Ultra 7 6.5mm suppressor Manners PRS2 (could shave another 1lb+ with an EH1) R700 alloy BDL Timney Calvin Elite Seekins 34mm low rings S&B PMII 3-20×50 Ultra Short (could go lighter with a scope change like a TT315M, but I like very high end glass) The new set up has killed 2 pronghorn @ 250ish & 391, and a huge mule deer buck at 454 so far. Plus a squirrel at 741. [/QUOTE]
