Look at the Templar VII....split picatinny, 20 moa(open top) machined in, no bolt on rail.

If you go Templar Hunter, it comes with 8X40.

Trigger Tech Diamond is the trigger I'd go with.

If your target weight is nine pounds all up, you may have to go lighter on the barrel contour.

Luck....is the residue of design...
