[QUOTE="Truc, post: 662177, member: 44771"] I just bought a rifle built in the 80's as a sheep rifle. It's a 700 rem SA in a MPI stock w/ a 26" #1 Kreiger barrel chambered in a wildcat 7mm/6.5 Rem mag. I shot it over the weekend and it shot a .274" group at 100 yds. It weighs 7.8 # w/ a Swarorski scope. If the stock is changed to a HS Precision Lightweight another 8 oz could be removed. Not a 6.5 but is on a 6.5 case and it holds 3 rounds in the magazine. Loads were provided that were 120 gr bullet at 3400 fps, I believe it is a hot load. [/QUOTE]
