Well I don't know how you can get a carbon wrapped 700 to come out 5.5 ibs, but in all honesty, I am really considering a GA Precision-non-typical chambered in one of the calibers, but still, A christensen is higher quality than a 700.Also the bolt is fluted and has a circular knob, which in and of itself is important to me, I hate the 700 action and the clinky handle. I am looking at 500 yards most likely, because that is within my ability, my budget is $3000 for the entire setup, I want the rifle to be lower than 9 ibs, and I have never come across a gun too much for me so far, from a box of 30-06 ammo in one visit to 75 .480s back to back, god just gave me a good shoulder.
A GAP Non-Typical in either .243 with an 8 twist barrel or a .308 would be a whole lot more pleasant to shoot and will handle the great majority of Hunting situations as well as the .300's.
