I had a 9.3x62 built on a Colt Light Rifle. It had a Douglas #3 installed by Melvin and stocked with an 18oz MPI rifles inc style stock. The completed rifle was 5lb 9oz bare and 6lb 3oz with Talley QR rings and a 2.5x Leupold.

I used it for a couple seasons and got some game with it but in the end it was just too much of a good thing. Since I already also had a 6 3/4lb 338 Win and a 7 1/4lb 375H&H, the CLR is now a 5lb 6.5-06AI.

In summation, cool concept but just outside the realm of practical in execution.....which roughly translates to GO FOR IT!!
