Xverm--maybe I wasn't clear in what I was saying, all I was saying is "all up" includes rounds in the gun and a sling on it and to include that when your talking weight.

Side note, the 260 AI is a round I'd love to work with but if I were to do it I'd not go with a skinny #1 Lilja (had a #1 Lilja .270 and it was the biggest turkey of a barrel I ever had). No place I can and would hunt from Alaska to Namib would I need a rifle that light. I'll take a few more ounces out front and get the barrel to .6" at the mzl.

But, that's just me and what work for me.

Have you got the project done or in the works? And what you gonna be using it for?

Pics when done please
