Questions - 6.5 Creedmoor build

[B23]

I like the weight of my Weatherby Accumark 30-06 (my normal meat gun) and that runs about 7 & 3/4 pounds (without the scope). I would like to keep it in that area if I could.

I used to have a Wby Accumark in 300 Wby Mag I believe they call that a #3 contour barrel.
