[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 2356292, member: 29953"] I’ve built several U/L rifles, it’s difficult to get under 5lbs when building a magnum bolt face cartridge, but not impossible, my 280AI is 5lbs 2.4oz on its own, Defiance Anti Action, Alloy Bottom Metal, 23 inch Benchmark #1 contour fluted 1-9 twist barrel, Wildcat Ultra Light CF stock with palm swell and high comb added, if you add a Leupold VX3i 4.5-14x40 ZL-CDS and Talley’s it’s an extra pound. You can use a 3.5-10x40 ZL-CDS and save 2oz My 280AI [URL='https://imgur.com/ebtt728'][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ebtt728.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And ultralight rifle do shoot even with pencil thin barrels, 100 yard group [URL='https://imgur.com/mrrlyjR'][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mrrlyjR.jpg[/IMG][/URL] 292 yard group [URL='https://imgur.com/5GXQNZY'][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5GXQNZY.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Titanium action is an option to save a cpl ounces but not my fav way to go, you could lighten a Rem model seven SAUM/WSM action as another option, if building a non magnum SA cartridge Kimber Mountain Ascent or Montana action is a no brainer but the 8400 action they use for Mag Bolt face WSM cartridges is to heavy to get to your desired weight goals.
