I was thinking of getting my hands on a used 7MM Rem Mag, either a Rem 700 or Ruger 77 and having a fluted ER Shaw barrel and a Synthetic stock it for a lighter weight packing rifle. Should be too expensive. Any thoughts? I have never owned a 7mm Rem, I did have a 300 Win Mag which I did not care for

The Ruger isn't the way to lighter weight. Inexpensive synthetics are generally on the heavier end too.

And no one makes a quality lightweight synthetic for a Ruger. I'll 2nd just buying a Tikka.
