Re: Whats your rifle weigh
I had John Whidden build a .300WM rig that would be light enough to hunt with, but still let me punch paper long range. He used my Rem 700 action, bolt, and trigger (old style), put on a Hart 26" stainless light Palma contour with Vais muzzle brake, his custom WCW 140 target style stock, EGW aluminum 20 moa base, and Nightforce Ultralite rings. Weighs a tad under 11 lbs (bathroom scale), sans scope. If I had chosen his hunting style stock, I could have saved about a pound and a half if my memory serves correctly. It's light enough to hunt with, but I wouldn't choose it to go up and down mountains. I've shot it in 100+ F temps where the barrel was too hot to touch, and it still held 1/2 moa out to 300 yds. Just waiting for the opportunity to stretch it out.
