[QUOTE="Blacktail63, post: 1218609, member: 75421"] I have a 28Nosler that shoots lights out. It's set up in a Win 70 express walnut stock, 3x18 VX6, Farrell steel 20MOA rail and Warne steel rings. It shoots real well as is but tilts the scale at near 11lbs ready to hunt. I have an older light weight Micky that'll shave 8oz. and I'm thinking I might change over the mounting system to something lighter. The Farrell steel rail weighs a pound alone. Originally I was worried about recoil and a heavy scope but the rifle is braked and I ended up with the lighter VX6. I don't think I utilize the 20MOA rail because I get to 1K yards with just 18MOA. What I'd like opinions on are optional mounting systems that'll save me some weight but not sacrifice to much in strength. The action is a post '64 magnum(375H&H, 300RUM). It's a little harder to find bases for. I'm considering Talley lightweight one piece mounts. Any other ideas? Thanks [/QUOTE]
