My ULA 22 has a #3 contour, 22" barrel, and weighs right at 7 lbs. with a 1" Leupold. It shoots really, really freaking well, and balances wonderfully for position shooting.

One could choose to go heavier, Melvin would weight the stock for balance. A benchrest stock is also available, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were many other options I'm not aware of.

The beauty of going with something like this is that you call Melvin and tell him what you wanna do, and he will build to suit. Plus, if you don't like it the rifle will sell in about 3 minutes on the classifieds. smile

Though an Annie is never a bad choice... those things are wicked.
