[QUOTE="Sand Man, post: 2512430, member: 65904"] Got a friend not on the forum going on a Yukon Dall hunt in August. I helped him put a rifle together. Weight was the main factor. After lots and back, we decided on a 6.5 SAUM. - Donor rifle was a Tikka T-3 .270WSM - .264 Bartlein #8 barrel finished at 23" - Manners Carbon Fiber stock - Keep the Tikka bottom metal and trigger - Talley Lightweight rings - March-F 3-24X42 Bare rifle was 6 pounds 5.13oz. Rifle finished without ammo was 7 pounds 14.4oz. We could have saved some weight on the scope, but hunter was stuck on FFP and MIL which drove us to the March-F. Rifle will push 156 Bergers over H-1000. Anxious to see how it shoots.
