[QUOTE="TongassHunter, post: 1508071, member: 107717"] Thanks Edd. I was going to go with a 22 in barrel in 1:14 twist. Even with that super light edge stock it’s still not coming in under 7lbs. 2.7lbs for the 700 long action with trigger and bottom metal. 1.9lbs for the McMillan edge Pac Nor barrel calculator for #1 contour 22in barrel says barrel weight would be approx 2.69lbs. I’m getting 7.29lbs total as an approximate weight estimate. Man these 700 long actions are heavy no way around it. Wish I hadn’t already bought it. I have a 6.5lbs Tikka t3x 300 win that is all I ever hunt with. My Ruger Hawkeye 30-06 is in the upper 7lbs range and sits in the safe. Not sure what to do now. Any other ideas? Thanks everyone.
