[QUOTE="SavageHunter11, post: 1568608, member: 100006"] I believe, and maybe I am wrong, that with the fluting the Pac-Nor barrel actually comes out an ounce or two lighter than a Proof light sendero. Another plus of the Pac-Nor is that no further machining is required while the Proof would probably have me in for another $300 in machining and fitting. While I don't like the big turret on the LRP and would really prefer the VX5, you can not get a VX5 in FFP and the LRP is the lightest FFP i have found. FFP is all I have used for years and I know I wouldn't be happy or comfortable taking long shots with a SFP scope. Thank you for the input. If I am mistaken on the barrel weight being lighter than the Proof let me know...the barrel is the one component of this build I can't make a decision on that I am content with. Started with a Criterion heavy sporter, then a McGowen #3 fluted, then a Criterion light sporter, then a Proof light sendero, and I am currently on the Pac-Nor. Hoping to nail a barrel down with this post more than anything. [/QUOTE]
