Topped it off with a Zeis 3.5-10x44mm conquest in the talley lightwight 2pc. mounts. Gun is 6.25lbs itself and 7.5lbs with optics, sling and ammo and shoots lights out. Built mine in 30-06 caliber and loaded up two handloads a 150gr sierra gameking around 3000fps for CXP2 game and a 180 Nosler Accubond at around 2750fps for CXP3 game. Also considered the 280 rem, 270 WSM & 300 WSM which would all be perfect as well.
Any pics? If you don't mind me asking,what did the build end up costing?
