I have a rifle similar to what you're thinking that weighs in at 9# 15oz... here's the specs... built by GA Precision...
Templar V1 short action
Bartlein #3 at 20" in 308win
Manners EH6 with PTG bdl style bottom metal
Nightforce 3.5-15x50
Seekins rings
It's a very nice handling rifle... and shoots very well...
