Thanks guys.
Leomort, Honestly I have no idea what it weighs. The stock has McMillan's standard fill; I'm guessing with scope & mounted it's probably around 8lbs, just guessing though.
I'm not big on super-lites. I'll say this much though, its significantly lighter than the factory Win 70 was originally. And, it balances much better too. That Echol's Legend stock is the bomb!
Looking forward to getting it dialed in.
Leftybolt

Leomort, After comparing it to my other McMillan stocked rifles I'm guessing its a bit lighter in weight than I had previously thought. I'm thinking its probably closer to 71/2 lbs with scope and mounts. Plenty lite for me. Leftybolt

leftybolt, yea, I was thinking with a one contour barrel that it would have to weigh less than 8lbs, as my 270Win with factory Rem barrel in Mcillan Classic stock and Leupie 3.5-10x40mm weighs in at 8 lbs on the nose. That 7.5lbs would seem pretty light

You definiately have the "cool factor" covered. I love the way the black lug works with the bolt fluting. Verry nice.
I should have just bought a [bleep] T3...

That is one of the best examples of "thinking out of the box" to get around rules I've ever encountered.
Nicely put together. Congrats.
