Do they make anything "lean" for those that chase critters climbing mountains?

This EH2 is lighter than a standard fill McClassic...... I believe it's 31oz...
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......

The SL on Sendero Man's rifle above and the EH3 on this one are both quite light. It is lighter than the edge filled Classic I had on before it.

Michael Jordan once told me that no one likes name droppers.
I would like to give a shout out to sidewalks for keeping me off the streets

What barrel contour and length, and any idea on weight of rifle without optics? I'm liking the looks of that EH3, but isn't Tom working on a stock similar to the EH3 but even a little trimmer with a more rounded bottom around the mag well? Kevin

Thanks, it has a Bartlein #3 @ 24" with a decent shank section, probably 3" of shank. Basically a GAP Non-typical from when they were 700 based. IIRC it's 9 lb 2 oz with the LRHS (25 oz) and Talleys (2 oz). My math puts it at 7 lb 7 oz sans optics. Manners did say they would be working on some newer stocks, though I have to say the EH3 works really well for me.

That's my 223AI. Rem 700 sent off to Long Rifles for their full boat. Brux #3 contour, 8 twist, 23". Badger M5 bottom metal with AI 223 mag. Seekins 20 MOA base. All cerakoted in coyote tan. Needs to be bedded into the stock, and the pillars are too short or my action screws are too long.... Stock was ordered for #3 with 1" shank but I'll need to open up the channel a little bit as the Brux doesn't slide right in.
Still haven't shot it as its hunting season!

Very nice rifles Kimber7!! Once hunting season winds down, I may bribe you with a beverage(s) of your choice to take a peek through those LRHSs as I'm considering one.

Sendero Man: Those two bottom stock photos, did you paint those? If not, who did? Very nice. What is your barrel length and contour on that rifle? Thanks, Jordan
