[QUOTE="amcardon, post: 3735079, member: 26766"] What will the purpose of the rifle be? When I read "13lbs" my first thought was dang that's light, but I had comp rifles in mind (I added 8lbs of weights to one of mine)... I think the purpose should drive the decision; if it's for long range precision then keep that sucker heavy; toting around in the woods then I could totally see a carbon wrapped barrel. Just a heads up, a lot of barrels are hard to find right now with long lead times. If you decide to rebarrel your current action and once you know what you want I'd start calling around to see if you can find anything in stock. If you don't already have a gunsmith in mind, I'd really recommend Jim Paul Brown (Wildcat Precision in Edmond). [/QUOTE]
