Speaking of Sporter style barrels.. #1, #2, and #3. If looking to build semi-lightweight rig that will still shoot well... 7-7.25 lbs. The more barrel the betterl I believe, but at what point does balance issues come up and how much is too much??? For intended purposes I mean. Will a fluted #3 come out close to a #2 in weight? Based on a 23" barrel. Caliber will be either .260 or 7/08. With edge stocks with a 14" LOP, is a #2 (fluted or not) enough barrel? Orrr, do you stay with a fluted #3? I'm hung up on feel and balance more than weight right now. I've measured several of my current rifles muzzle OD to get a good idea, but it's still confusing because the edge stock is a variable I can't adjust for, 23oz vs ~40oz for my BDL wood. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get an order in to Brux as quickly as possible.
