I know you wrote crf and this is the Winchester site, but having shot a .300 WM Pre-64 M70 back before I could afford my own rifles, I didn't much like the recoil and the older I get, I'm enjoying recoil even less. Anyway, you are going add some addition weight with a crf over a push feed action. You asked for actual weight of a build and I just weighed my 7mm RM with my Normark digital fish scale at 7 pounds 2 ounces.
Here is the recipe:
M700 Remington action
#1 taper ss 24" barrel
Brown Precision Kevlar Pound'r stock
2.5-10x42 Swarovski PH scope
Conetrol rings and bases
Hard chrome plated action
Full camo painted
About as perfect a mountain rifle as I could have put together and my elk were just as deceased as my buddies elk were with their .300 WM and .338 WM's. Even a light 7mm RM recoils some and mine is too big for around here, so it will be on the be in the classifieds sooner or later.
