I have an olive Classic in Edge construction for a LA 700 in ADL configuration. Including Rick's black & silver webbing paint job it weighs 24.7 ounces on my postal scales.

Guys will a #4 contour barrel fit in this stock if I had the contour opened, or do I need to do something like a Sako Hunter with EDGE Technology for the 4 contour...

I believe McMillan will build any of their Remington 700 models utilizing Edge technology. According to the McMillan website, the Hunters Edge Ultralight will only accept up to a #3 Douglas. Both the McMillan Classic and Sporter will accept up to a #5.

If your striving to shave oz.'s and be light weight I'd look towards your #4 contour barrel for starters,much to be saved there by dropping down to a #3 and maybe fluting....

Yes I did George as per the weight definently will be going with the #4 being it will be here from Rock Creek on this week, it will be fluted as deep as it can weighing 2 3/4lbs before threading, chambering and will need to be cut and crowned hopefully it will be light enough.
Waterbug it's looking like I'll have to go with a McMillan Classic or Sporter to accommodate this #4 I'll be getting thanks for the valuable info. Gentlemen!
