[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1560833, member: 68875"] A 26" .284" Proof Sendero Light weighs in @ 3lbs 2oz uncut. Shave maybe 6oz off for crowning, cutting the tenon and chambering. 2lbs 12oz at least. [URL='https://s642.photobucket.com/user/lancetkenyon13/media/280AI%20Build/20170620_190045_zpssoqbwjkm.jpg.html'][IMG]https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu142/lancetkenyon13/280AI%20Build/20170620_190045_zpssoqbwjkm.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Pierce TI LA is about the lightest you can get in an action. 1lb 5oz (20.8oz) for action body and bolt. Add a trigger at a few ounces and say 1lb 11oz or so. Add the bolt lightening option for -1.5oz. So 1lb 9oz or so. TI brake 4oz Ultralight stock, look to Brown Precision Kevlar @ 16oz, or MPI as light as 9oz! Do the stock in an ADL configuration to eliminate bottom metal. Add a few oz for magazine spring and follower, bedding, etc. That puts you at about 5.5 lbs all together. Get some Talley lightweights and a light scope. You should be under 7# all in. I would not suggest a 5.5lb 28 Nosler, but that is just me. I would look at a .280AI, 7 SS, 7 Saum, etc. I have shot 18 different 28 Noslers. From 8.5 to 15+lbs. A 28 Nosler will not do anything a .280AI will do at 98% of actual realistic hunting distances. A sub-7lb rifle is by no means a 1000+ yard hunting rifle....again, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
