[QUOTE="Crockett12, post: 1512004, member: 35100"] If you can afford it, I'd build! However as already pointed out there are a number of lightweight rifles on the market right now. I built mine, (.257 Ackley Improved) so I have the experience of building. If you build, every ounce counts -- a few ounces here and a few there add up to an extra pound or two at the end. You can research what each individual part weighs -- including the scope mounts and even the sling you use! Also take a look at the total weight of your ammo -- which might make you decide to go for a different caliber -- which is why I went with the .257! [/QUOTE]
