[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 848786, member: 1940"] My first custom was built on a trued Rem 700 with a Wyatt magazine box and had a trigger job done on the factory trigger. It made a dandy rifle. It had a 4 taper Pac-Nor 24" barrel. The stock was a McMillan with what they called light fill at that time, early 90's. The bare rifle weighed 7 lbs. I wonder what you would have by replacing the magazine box, replacing the stock with something really light, and maybe having the action lightened. Cost wise it could be effective, or maybe that expense combined with what you can get from the rifle become your down payment on the new one. (insert big grin here). I surfed the gun auction sites and the classifieds on several internet forums for a year or so while I considered just what I wanted in a light hunting rifle and how I was going to pay for it. I happened across my rifle on gunbroker.com and watched it fail to sell for a couple weeks before making an offer and buying the rifle. I had been debating 6.5-284 or 7 WSM, but 270 WSM was right in there. [/QUOTE]
