Responded to Justin re the H&H action being lighter, wanting to shoot 200gr AB with a Mag length of 3.600.
Told him I was looking at barreling with a #2 Krieger or similar.
His response;
Thanks for the clarification. Yes, the H&H action is a bit lighter, and it will permit you to run with your bullets seated higher. In this case, the Group VII action will be best. Thee are a few additional things we can do to the receiver to lighten it further, if you are looking to trim all fat from this rifle. Regardless, with a #2 contour, you’ll have no trouble making the 8 lb goal.
He does know you mean 8lb scoped, correct? I know he probably does but it’s always worth mentioning and having the rings, bases and scope weight ready so everyone is working with honest weights.
