[QUOTE="SavageHunter11, post: 1568569, member: 100006"] Decided to build myself a nice do-it-all (except bigger bears and moose) rifle. Planning to use it for antelope and whitetail every year and muleys, elk, goats, and sheep when I draw tags in my state plus any guided hunts I go on in the future. Trying to get as close to 8lbs scoped and ready to go and not exceed 9lbs. I have a build in mind, was hoping some of you with more experience could look at and see how correct I am with estimated weights and offer any suggestions if you see holes in the planned build. I am hoping to order everything this week or next week. Thanks again. >> NSS Remington 700 left hand LA trued reciever-------------- 39oz >>Remington ADL mag box, mag spring, and follower----------- 1oz >>Sin Arms (Local to me) bolt fluting and threading service---- (-2oz) >>Tactical Werks oversized carbon fiber bolt know-------------- (-1oz) >>Pac-Nor Rem/Age #2 Super Match barrel 24" 280A.I. -------- 53oz >>Pac-Nor fluting and muzzle threading service ------------- --- (-8oz) >>APA Micro Bastard gen 2 ---------------------------------------- 1.8oz >>Manners MCS-EH2 left hand carbon fiber stock ---------------- 28oz >>Manners 9/16" pillars, 2 flush cups, and 3 sling studs --------- 2oz >>Leupold VX-3i LRP 4.5-14x50 FFP scope w/ CCH reticle ------- 22.4oz >>Hawkins Precision 25MOA rings ------------------------------- -- 3.5oz >>Bedding service, barreled receiver cerakote, stock hydrodip --- 1oz?
