I had a bunch of machining done on the bolt, and swapped out everything I could for lightweight components. Scoped I am under 7 pounds for a 300 SAUM.


Sounds like a nice rifle.
I will be calling wildcat when I receive the action. I am trying to use as much local talent to finish the build. I almost regret getting gunwerks to build the barrelled action but you can’t deny their craftsmanship.
My goal is to have a rifle under 7 pounds once I’m complete. This one is coming in 280AI with a 22” fluted sportster contoured barrel. Hopefully I will be able to reach my goal.
Thanks for the advise.
