[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 5295190, member: 16430"] If you watch component weights, especially barrel contour and length, a hunting gun with a 22" barrel could be had in the 8 to 9 pound range including scope. I'm sure that an 7 pound gun is possible with even lighter, more expensive components. My carry gun is 9.5lb. It is a 20"bbl but is a much heavier taper than needed. I would love to have it fluted to reduce weight but I'm scared to death it will be lost in shipping to or from Twisted Barrels. The plan was to machine a lug, weld it on, and install it on my H&R 45-70 Ultra Hunter frame but I ended up building Shorty Forty. She shoots a 300gr Pittman Aeromax hard-core over 83gr of imr4166 at 2750 fps. [ATTACH type="full"]128281[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
