About to start a build for a friend. He wants a lightweight magnum/back country rifle, probably in 300 PRC. Working component list is as follows:
-Bighorn TL3
-Triggertech special 2 stage
-Proof CF barrel sendero @ 24” 1:9 twist
-MDT HNT 26 chassis, folder with arca rail option
-Leupold mk 5 HD 3.6-18x44 scope
-MK IV rings
-Dead Air Nomad LTi
Adding what weight I can find for components comes up to just under 10 lbs not counting ammo. My question is, is that too light? Is the thing going to kill at both ends? He’s ex-military, SF, big dude, not recoil averse, etc. It’s just that he’s probably looking at $7-8k, all in, and I don’t want him to have a rifle that is a terror to shoot. Would love to hear your thoughts.
