I actually had a goal to push this Remmy as far as I could go weight wise without compromizing accuracy. .550 at muzzle matches up with Remingtons mountain profile thou I could have taken down to .530, left the barrel at 20.6inches, 18 or 19 still would have got the job done.

So what did you do to the action to get the rig that light? I don't have a bare short action to weigh, but from other posts I am curious how you got the pictured rifle that light, without a Titanium action.

What I see in the picture, the numbers don't add up to my "paper build".
Your action should be2.5#

barrel ~2#

My factory ADL 700 in 243 weighs #6-11oz in a LVSF lightweight stock.

You probably lost 4.5 ounces with fluting the bolt and drilling holes....

It looks like you lost closer to a pound in the action than my calculations? Please help me copy your build, I would like to turn the 243 into a 257 roberts light rifle, but my math says I'll be 7# with a 14 oz scope ( using barrel weight from Pac-nor's #1 bbl).

Thank you
