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.
Windfall, appreciate your input, but.....no.
