Bartlein straight fluted barrel
Mcmillan dark Mcwoody stock
Dbm with 5rnd mag
Spiral fluted bolt and oversized bolt knob
Cerakote

I’m looking for a rifle that will finish in the 7.5lb range.

Thanks


Take what you have and call GA Precision and also Jon Beanland. Use whichever one you feel more comfortable with. Neither of them will steer you wrong and you won’t lose too much value if you need to sell the rifle (as compared to a less well known builder).
